Hello all, while installing my ASUS b-150 pro d3 motherboard I ran into an issue with the Corsair H55 water cooler fan that I have mounted to the bottom of my case.

For airflow purposes, I have set up my case fans to exhaust out the top and rear, and intake from the bottom and front. I mounted my CPU fan + radiator to the bottom of my case. This became a problem when I found the CPU fans connector is not long enough to reach the designated port on my mobo, as the port is at the very top of the mobo.

Could I connect the CPU fan to a different port, or is my only option finding an extension?
