After you install the cooler's fans and power, you just plug in the USB cable to a USB header on your motherboard. Then the software you install will detect the cooler. You have to use the H80i, not the H80. That (i.e. the USB) is the difference between the two, and that difference is what allows the Corsair Link software to control the cooler.
Here is a video on that cooler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsofOJ8Gwqg

Oh, your question had "link" in the title, so I thought it was about the Corsiar Link software.
Anyway, which plug are your trying to connect? I may be wrong, but I think it has only fan plugs and a power plug for the pump. Does it also have a USB plug? Maybe post some pictures. The fan plugs (small ones) go into any fan header on your motherboard. Those look like this: http://assets.hardwarezone.com/2009/img/data/articles/2004/1215/02-fan_header_install.jpg
The power plug for the pump goes into a sata power plug from you power supply. It's the same plug that goes into your drives. They look like this: http://www.pcstats.com/articleimages/200708/LGGSAH62N_sata2.jpg
If there is a USB for the Corsiar Link, it goes into the USB header on your motherboard. USB headers look like this: http://dl.maximumpc.com/galleries/livingroompc/USB%20headers_sm.jpg

here is the cable plug in that i belive is for the corsair link: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ghjC8TcJG-I/TzfPejoMqRI/AAAAAAAAA-U/FlbYGBT1Gt4/s1600/Mounting-Guide-Corsair-H60-H80-H100-AMD-Hydro-Series-High-Performance-Liquid-CPU-Cooler-screenshot-4.jpg
i have one cable going to the cpu fan header from the block and power for the fans is from a molex from the pump.
sorry for the long links, dont know how to shortn.

Hmm, it sounds okay. Have you watched Corsair's installation video?

Also, the H80 requires this additional hardware in order to use Corsair Link: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/cpu-coolers/corsair-link-kits
The H80i doesn't. That's the main difference. Forgot to mention that. So the thing you see on the pump that says "Link" is for the hardware controller linked above. Don't worry about that if you don't have it.
