Where do I Plug in the Corsair Link USB on my Asus Maximus VI Hero?

Ok so I'm stumped. I can't figure out where to plug in my 9 pin USB plug for Corsair Link for my H100i. Can someone help? http://imgur.com/zMuqM9X

What is the connection for the H100i (Look like)? You may have to get an adapter to connect it to the motherboard.

Came across this:

The Fan Splitter:
If you have enough plug ins on the motherboard you can do it this way, however if you want to be able to control the H100i via your desktop you will need to use the fan splitter cable so you can change the speeds on the fans via the desktop (I would plug them into the motherboard if you can control your motherboard fans via the desktop on your computer however.

The USB 2.0 cable (Corsair Link):
The only thing that this cable is good for is being able to control your H100i via the desktop (fan speeds, pump speeds, ect. ect.) I would fully recommend this being plugged into the header, just because the pump speeds are very important.

Molex to SATA Power Adapter:

Conclusion:
Over all I would recommend fully what I have stated above, however i would also recommend that everything be hooked up like it should be since it was made for that purpose.

The link you put doesn't work. Just sends me to Newegg home.

One end goes into the pump, the other should go into one of your USB header.

Just changed it, To make me more aware for what has to be done.

PS the link in your post works, but I aren't sure if that's what you need.

wait, so to clarify, does the USB header connect to the motherboard or the H100i?

I'd say both if any of you seen my post :/

There's 2 USB headers. The non-pinned one goes into the header and the 9 pin goes into a USB 2.0 port on the motherboard, but I can't find it.

I just curious, were you able to see my post? Not saying it was helpful or anything. I'm just confused, cuz it sounds like neither one of you can see my post that's about 10 minutes ago ._.

See from this image:

It looks like it may connect to the USB 1112 header.

It looks like it may connect to the USB 1112 header.

The 1112 header is occupied by another USB plug entitled "USB."
