    Not sure how to sort this but here goes:
    Just (down)upgraded to a MSI Z97 Gaming ACK mini itx motherboard due to space issues and have gotten rid of my watercooled rig for a Corsair H100i AIO in a new Air 540 case.
    I have a load of corsair SP120 fans all 3 pin that I want to use and monitor on my existing Aquaero 6XT but my motherboard only has 1 internal USB header which the AIO requires so I cant plug the AE 6 into it so cant get the software to run.
    Is there a splitter or cable that I can get to allow me to use both items on the usb header so I don't have to purchase a new fan controller- money is tight currently

    TIA

    How you sorted it might help someone else. Care to share?

    Indeed. Else this thread might be bin-worthy.

    NZXT IU01 Internal USB Hub is the solution

    What with more and more components needing a USB header that is a clever little thing - have some rep good sir :thumb:

    I like it!I especially like the idea of having a couple of proper USB ports inside the case to plug wireless KB/mouse receivers into to keep them out of sight, but then again I'm a bit weird like that.
