[lee724]

Hi guys ive been searching the net for a few days and going round in circles, i have a Corsair 600T Case which has 4 usb ports at the front which is 2 x USB 2.0 connector to the Mobo, problem is i have my H100i connected to one so im only able to connect ad use 2 out of the 4 USB ports on the front of my case, is there a splitter or any way around this

thanks Lee

You can use the USB splitter, like here http://www.moddiy.com/products/10%252dPin-USB%7B47%7DAC97%7B47%7DHD%252dAudio-Internal-Header-Y-Splitter-Cable-(5cm).html

2 quick options to solve this issue:

1: Usb hub -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=usb+hub&N=-1&isNodeId=1

2: PCI usb card -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=pci+usb&N=-1&isNodeId=1

Thanks for the answers guys but its a 9 pin female header to split off to 2 9 pin male headers like you connect to the Mobo itself, not to the back of the board.

Belive me misunderstood your problem. You have a H100i installed (guessing its top mounted), don't see how that could cause an issue for connecting the front usb connectors as they plug into the bottom of the motherboard? Or am i missing out on somthing here?

Sorry, the 4 usb ports at the front of the case requires 2 usb 2.0 connectors on the mobo, the H100i requires another usb 2.0 connector which totals 3 connectors, on the crosshair v formala z theres is only 2 usb 2.0 connectors so im unable to connect 1 set of the fronts usb's

Ah, now i follow. Gotten so used to dealing with custom loops with more than 1 radiator running at costant pump and fan speeds.

So completly blocked out the fact that some prefilled watercoolers use the USB connectors for controlling the cooling.

Theres no cables that will allow you to merge the 2 cables into 1 connector. So if you need more USB ports then you have to do as i originally suggested. Get a PCI-1 usb card, or a usb hub. Sorry
