The USB cable isn't just for RGB LED lights, it's mainly for controlling the water pump and fans speed using Corsair Link program.

My guess would be that without USB control cable, your MoBo doesn't run the pump fast enough and that's why you get overheating issues.

Connect the USB cable, download Corsair Link program and tune your H100i GTX to run right.
