I really need to know how many usb 2.0 headers are on the asus maximus viii hero motherboard https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/MAXIMUS-VIII-HERO/overview/ I cant find it. I even called tech support and they don't even know. I need to know so I will know how many corsair link devices I can hook up to this motherboard.
