Alcasczar Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 So I bought this H115I (not the pro) back in November of 2017, it works great and everything no issues ever and it cools great. I may be OCD about wire management but I am just wondering why the plug for the USB is at the bottom of the pump instead of on the side? is this just a small oversight? Being at the bottom is kind of a slight eye sore since the cable has to run around the block and out the back of my case. Did I get a bad one or is this intended?

c-attack Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Did they accidentally move the USB port on your cooler? Of course not. This comes up every now and then, but the answer is always going to be the same. Nobody likes the plug, but it has to go somewhere. I am not sure there is a universal case position anymore and design plans regarding going up and over the motherboard with it or straight down behind the GPU are both case and motherboard dependent. As long as there has to be a cord, someone is going to be unhappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram1220 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I agree with the OP. It should have been put at the top of the pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would much rather the cable run up and out the back and in than down behind the graphics card with the least visibility possible. I am still happy with this product, just a minor eye sore because looks matter ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevBiker Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 On the H115i PRO, the USB connection is directly opposite the coolant hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 H115i Pro is left side with a natural right angle connector (leading up). Of course, you can buy other USB cable with left turn if you want to run down. Take a look at the picture on the top of this page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcasczar Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Actually I can see the cable now on the H115I PRO RGB is on the side of the pump which is a better spot :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
