Try this: https://www.nzxt.com/products/internal-usb-hub
I have their previous version in one of my other PCs and it's been trouble free. Connect your other usb connections to it and plug the cooler directly to the mother board. For more fun you can add sub sticks to the internal usb ports on the card :) As far as the rad and fan I would have installed the rad to the top of the case infront of the top case fan already installed with one fan blowing through it and the other fan left over at the back to help move air over the VRMs. You would have two fans, one at the top (rear) and one at the rear (back) both exhausting the case and helping to cool the VRMs and move the hot air from the video card out and mostly not through the rad.

You have 3 USB 2.0 headers on your board right at the bottom under the bottom PCIe slot.

Yeah I put it in last night without the link, temps were not much better than previous cooler so maybe some software adjustments will help. Clubfoot, I have it setup where the two fans at the front of the case are pulling air through the case through the top of the rad, and the fan at the back of the case pushing hot air out. I have the fans that came with the rad attached to the back of the rad inside the case pushing air out, and the rad installed on the top of the case, with the tubing parallel to the DVD drive....let me tell you...this was quite an experience for an absolute noob. Hahaha

Make sure the fan header the pump is connected to is set to "water pump" -> DC -> full power. Then you can try different fan curves for the fans until you find the best balance of quiet (low load) and temps.

Xaltar, how exactly do I do that....I think I have the pump plugged into the OPT fan port where the other one was, is this okay....and how do I change these settings? I'm assuming through BIOS? Edited by Kanty - 23 Mar 2017 at 12:05am |

Yup, in the UEFI. Make a note of the name of the header then set it in the UEFI as I mentioned. The H100i is a great cooler and will be more than adequate for your system.
Let us know how the temps are after you have made the tweaks I suggested.

Will do my friend, yeah I did some research and decided on this one and copied someone else's layout for the cooler, fits nicely up top and looks good....do need to work on my cable management though... hahahaha. Temps haven't been much different than previous cooler yet though, will make the tweaks you suggested via BIOS and attach the Corsair Link when I get home from work.
