Well, I didn't know that USB-headers (pins) were really standard between manufacturers any more. I thought that went away with USB-2.0 . Out the back sounds work-able (no-one would ever see it anyway). Seems like you could use empty card-slot or other small hole.
The software works with any PC. If you are talking about the iCue commander, that is a control box for various RGB effects and would do you little good on an R10.
Its a H80iV2. Has one 3 pin to plug in to power AIO pump (said to plug into CPU-fan plug, but I plugged it into what was an unused one on my air cooled R10 labled fan-pump on the motherboard because I assumed this would run it full out at all times which made more sense - correct me if Im wrong) and then 2 female leads to plug other fans into. I figured the iCue software would be needed to control the speeds on these fans, and that if I plugged the 3 pin into the top-fan it would run the pump at varying speeds in conjunction with the PWM signal sent out by the BIOS for that fan port??
AIO def seems to be working right currently. I could hit 95c 4100mHz on CPU stress testing graphics card on alienwares support software as delivered, now it only hits 67c with it running at 4400mHz, 61c with case open
The USB connection is supposed to go to an onboard header. I do not think there are any free on the R10, so you will have to route it to a USB port on the back.
I understand that, but what is it NEEDED for? just RGB control? Independant fan speed control if I have it plugged into the fan-pump header like I do?
Do you know how that stuff operates eg. fan-pump (how can you see the speed that is running at or control or is it always 100% ?) and that pass thru twin fan harness on the H80i?

Sounds like a Corsair LC (which AFAIK, is still an Asetek clone).
On the Asetek units, the pump (and its impeller) runs at a constant-speed (non-variable). Of course, the radiator fan is variable-speed.
It will show up as a controllable device in iCue, which will allow access to various functions of the device pending on what the device supports.
I am pretty sure RGB, fan speed, temperature reading and maybe even pump speed can be accessed from iCue.
If you want to know exactly what is possible, you are best to reach out to Corsair using their support forums. They offer support directly for Corsair products, similar to this forum for Alienware or Dell products.

Looks cool. Like an after-market MIO-Board huh?
