I am probably being overcautious, but, the aero's USB connector is a 5 pin and the MB connectors are 10 pin. I am assuming that I use one side of ten pin connector...right?
 
I have only seen 9 pin USB on a mother board. But you just plug one end of the 5 pin into the aquaero the other onto the motherboard. If your using an MSI board sometimes it will not work since the USB cable that comes with the aquaero has two grounds ( black wires ) AC knows about this but i just made a cable that runs off of the USB slot for outside peripherals ( back of motherboard ) then into the case to the aquaero.
 
Make sure you understand that the Aquaero USB header is ass backwards to the USB standard !!! Normally Pin 1 is hot and pins 4&5 are ground. This is backwards to the Aquaero as Pin 1&2 are ground and Pin 5 is HOT! If you read the directions it shows this but the outline drawing just shows Pin and Pin 5 with no mention of this problem. If you read the manual it goes into detail about this under USB connections.
 
Asus calls it a 10-1, it is a nine pin USB. So are you saying I just go ahead and plug into one the rows of 5 pins?
 
I have used it on a asus SLI board without fault, just make sure you put it in the right way since your using BTX case ( upside down )
