Hello,
I am helping a friend build a gaming pc but we cannot find the cable for the USB front headers which needs to be plugged into the motherboard. We are using a Corsair Carbide 200r and an Asus M5A78l-m motherboard. Please can you help us? Thanks

It appears there is a USB mismatch here. That is, the case supports USB 3.0 front panel ports (which is why they're blue) but the board only has USB 2.0 headers.

The USB 3.0 cable from the case looks like this

Look for an adapter to USB 2.0 that came with the case or mobo. IF you can't find one you can easily order one online.
