Corsair HXi series PSU and Mini USB cable to a normal usb port?

[Archangel768]

Hi,

I'm about to get one of the HXi series from Corsair and but don't have any more internal usb 2 headers available. Is it possible to just use a mini usb cable to a regular external usb 2 port?

Thank you for your time

With an adapter of course.

you can actually get internal USB hubs like this from NZXT (https://goo.gl/ny1QW7) it has four USB 2 motherboard style headers and two USB Type A style connectors (USB A is the original rectangle USB connector that is on the back of motherboards and comes with your peripherals and phone cables etc... ) the only bad thing is that it it uses a molex connector for power or of you want RGB lighting control and fan/temperature monitoring and being able to control fan speeds on top of having 2 spare USB ports then get the Corsair Commander Pro it has 2 internal motherboard USB 2 extensions as well as 2 lighting channel connectors (each can control up to 6 RGB fans and 6 RGB LED strips) and you get 4 temperature sensors to put anywhere in the case for temp monitoring and you can connect up to 6 fans to control their speeds
