Pezay Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 After a couple of long hours mounting the ASUS Impact VIII and a H100i GTX inside a Corsair 250D (but it was fun!), I still have a small problem to solve and it involves the Corsair Link USB-cable! As you can see from the image below I had to replace the included angled Mini-USB to USB2.0-header for a Mini-USB to standard USB. Then reroute the cable through the drive-cages to a USB-port on the back. And all this because of two things: 1. The angled Mini-USB, that is included, interferes with the sound card (SupremeFX) in this position in the picture. The only position that the angled Mini-USB-connector will fit in, is if you rotate the cpu-block 90 degrees clockwise with the USB-connection facing the IO-plate. But that is an impossible position in this chassi and will bend the hoses to much. 2. The ASUS Impact VIII-motherboard lacks a USB 2.0-header. The only USB-header available is a USB3.0-header and that is a different socket and is already taken by the front-usb on the chassi, and I don´t want to miss out on those. Right now I can´t use the front headphone and mic because the header on the sound-card is blocked by the mini-USB from the CPU-block as shown in the picture. Does anyone have a good idea how to A) Get rid of the cabled routed out the back and B) Get access to the audio-header again. Maybe a reversed angled mini-usb should do the trick? Where to find one? http://s11.postimg.org/lclp5bf5f/20151230_171659_001.jpg http://s14.postimg.org/cgamm2vo1/20151230_171726.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezay Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Solved problem A by re-routing the USB-cable out with graphics card slot! Secured the graphics card with one standard screw ìn the middle and the bracket on top of the USB-cable with a thumbscrew. Works like a charm! :D: Still problem B remains that I can´t use the audio-header. Anyone knows of a angled mini-usb? http://s14.postimg.org/uti7abx75/20151231_144519.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datakiller24 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi, Something like this ? http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Right-Angle-Charger-Adapter/dp/B000FHBEFS/ref=pd_sim_147_9?ie=UTF8&dpID=31zn8NHecuL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0WKZKYCPC45XA85E9E3E BR, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezay Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Hi, Something like this ? http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Right-Angle-Charger-Adapter/dp/B000FHBEFS/ref=pd_sim_147_9?ie=UTF8&dpID=31zn8NHecuL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=0WKZKYCPC45XA85E9E3E BR, Peter That could work! I just wonder if it´s going to be a tight fit against the RAM with another cable connecting to the adapter? I found and ordered this cable instead: http://www.startech.com/Cables/USB-2.0/Mini/6foot-Mini-USB-Cable-A-to-Left-Angle-Mini-B~USB2HABM6LA I´l hope it will work, but the adapter will be my backup plan because it looks like it will not extend that much from the cpu-block compared to the cable. Tanks for your reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datakiller24 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 You are welcome! That cable will be ok also (adapter was cheaper, this is why I linked it :) ). BR, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
