Ran into a snag, the clc 280 uses a usb 2.0 header for flow control...However the Z370 only has one usb 2.0 header....
The dg77 uses the usb2.0 header for its own control and K Boost....There are two USB 2.0 headers on the DG77 RGB panel, one labelled "USB2 IN" and "USB2 Out". The "USB2 IN" is by default connected and the cable goes to the motherboard. the "USB2 out" has nothing connected.
I Called EVGA support and talked to a Jonathan, I believe, 20 mins ago and he says i have 3 options:
1. get a usb 2.0 card with an internal connector (BLAH and UGLY)
2. use a old cell phone charger that uses the same connector as the CLC and run it out the case to the back usb port (Mickey mouse looking)
3. That i should be able to plug the clc into the "USB Out" on the dg77 RGB panel and it should work
I want to do #3 as he said it would be fine and not short anything, but I would rather get some input first...HELP!!!!
