Oh! I see what you mean.
Are you sure that's it? If so that needs to be plugged into a USB header, otherwise the cooler won't be fully working properly.

What I think is going on here is that those 2 USB motherboard ports at the bottom of the photo you posted are the only USB 2 headers on the motherboard. They're actually each 2 port headers so equals total of 4 ports.
I'm guessing one of them is fed to the USB ports on the case, and the other is taken up by the bluetooth controller on the wifi card.
The BT controller is essentially taking up 2 ports needlessly, but of course, there's no individual spare port to connect the H115i USB into.
What we need is a splitter to split that second USB header into 2 ports.
We need something like this:
Or this if you want something a bit more substantial, it latches to the case by magnets:

Yeah, it can sit anywhere nice and tucked away.
Which one were you thinking of getting?

Sorry, that amazon one I think is only usb 1 so wouldn’t work. Hold on, there is another I found that’s barebones and around the same price.
Here we go:
Kolink Internal USB Hub - 60cm USB Cable
The Kolink internal USB Hub is the ideal solution for increasing the amount of internal USB ports available in your system.

So that would need a power source from a molex connector off the PSU, molex looks like this:
If there aren't any available off the PSU in the build currently, there should be some spares in the welcome box.
Then you plug that into the molex connector off the USB board, and remove the bluetooth connector from the wifi card from the usb header on the motherboard, connect the USB from this to the motherboard in it's place, and then plug both the bluetooth header and the H115i pump header into this new splitter.

I would personally also, it just snaps to the case on magnets and looks a lot neater.
I believe it’s exactly the same way to connect it, but I’ll just double check.

It’s actually sold on amazon cheaper and delivery should be cheaper too

Yes, exactly the same method to connect it:
But yeah, just post here once you’ve got it and we can talk you through it.

@SpyderTracks I have the USB hub to install whenever you're free

Sorry about that, only just seen this!
So the molex connector on the power lead, that plugs into a male molex connector from the PSU. Either you will have a specific Molex line of power cables that you just need to plug into the "Peripherals & SATA" outputs on the PSU, or you will have a little SATA power to molex adapter like this:
Then you plug the USB cable that came with the port replicator into the motherboard where we're removing the left hand connector from.
Plug the other end into the White input port on the port replicator, and that should be it, plug in the power, connect the USB header we just removed from the motherboard into the replicator, and attach the cooler to it as well, and we should be good to go.

The PSU should come with some SATA power to molex adapters, they're usually included by default, if not then it will be a standard Molex power line just with molex outputs.Apologies if I am confusing matters here...feel free to tell me to shut up and go awayWill that Hub work without some kind of 6 pin adapter? Just curious as it seems to come with a 4 pin Molex...but the OPs PSU is an RMx:
View attachment 18286
Fair enough...you have more knowledge of these things than me
You need to think further down the line. The RMx will have standard SATA power connections. You then add an adapter to the SATA connector which changes it to a 4 pin molex, as suggested, this adapter then connects to the hub power connection

Awesome, well done, really pleased that's working!
