this just confused: in the manual

F_USB1/F_USB2 (USB 2.0/1.1 Headers) The headers conform to USB 2.0/1.1 specification. Each USB header can provide two USB ports via an optional USB bracket. For purchasing the optional USB bracket, please contact the local dealer.

That means that BOTH the headers can connect either 1.1 or 2.0. 

This is truly urgent.

I need to buy it right now, in 2 days the build must be finished for the showcase event, and we still have a lot of work to do. (custom case modding and water cooling).

Only thing i am asking here is, if the Hue+ needs a special motherboard support, or just a USB 2.0 header on the MB?

I have Z170X-UD3, No RGB Fusion support, but i sure have two USB2.0 headers.

For a fact, CORSAIR Lighting Node PRO does not need RGB Fusion Support, while Phanteks RGB strips does.

I found no info on the Hue+ tho, can anyone help with this one? realy urgent.

Here are some pics btw:

I installed one yesterday and only needed the USB 2.0 Header from my motherboard. You're good to go.

Can it work with USB 1.1? 

I also have a CPU block which connects to USB.

Thing is, i have 1x USB 2.0 and 1x USB 1.1 headers.

Your motherboard has 2 USB 2.0 headers according to the manual.
