creos7 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I've purchased both the ATX860i and the H100i. It would appear that they will each take an internal mother board USB port? Is that really the case? Is there no way to add both to the USB dongle or some sort of hub, so only a single port is used? Otherwise, it looks like I'll need to disconnect the 2xUSB2.0 front pots to make room which would be rather disappointing.... Any and all suggestions welcome, thanks!

creos7 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 oh i see it right next to the USB port. so could you confirm if this is correct: 1) there are two connections for Y fan splitters on top 2) 1 USB connection for the mobo on the side 3) 1 extra connection on the side that i can use the for the PSU instead of connecting it to the USB dongle? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creos7 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Never mind, found confirmation that you are 100% correct (just wanted to confirm so i don't fry the unit if it's not "officially" supported). "The other connector is a Corsair Link expansion port. The expansion port can be used if you have multiple Corsair Link devices in your system. This is useful if you do not want to use up all of your internal USB 2.0 headers on the motherboard. For example, if you have an AXi PSU, then instead of connecting it directly to the motherboards USB header, you can simply plug it into the cooling block on the H100i, where it will interface with Corsair Link through the H100i. The expansion port can also be connected directly to the stand alone Corsair Link kit which comes with the Corsair Link Commander unit. This is to minimize the amount of cables that need to be connected directly to the motherboard."
