Asus P6T Deluxe V2 "USB headers"

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Hi. My motherboard is an Asus P6T Deluxe V2, inside an Antec DF-85 tower case. The tower has three USB 2.0 ports on the front panel. I connected two of them to the motherboard via Asus' blue USB Q-Connector. I want to use the the third USB 2.0 cable from the tower's front panel, but according to the Asus motherboard manual, I need another blue USB Q-Connector. Can I just connect the USB 2.0 cable directly into the USB port on the motherboard without another blue USB Q-Connector?[/FONT]

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]note: USB 2.0 cable from the tower's front panel description: connector is black with 4 pin holes; fifth pin hole is factory-covered (not actually a pin hole). Starting with the first pin hole on the left is +5v, second pin hole is D-, third pin hole is D+, fourth pin hole is Ground.
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]
I only had to use one blue USB Q-Connector because the front panel's USB 2.0 cables are actually 2-in-1.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Thank you[/FONT]
 
Not sure if I understand this correctly, but you want to connect the case's front port cable connector (which is Q female) to a USB port on the motherboard? how can you do that? aren't they incompatible shape wise?
 
Someone told me it [FONT=Arial, sans-serif]should fit on the bottom four pins for any of the USB headers... FGHI

update: He's right. It works =)

can you post a pic please, I would love to see how you got it to work... its really an interesting concept
 
All the cases' front panel USB cables fit directly on the boards' headers. ASUS for some reason includes a redundant extension in their packaging. I thought it's harmless but I guess it could be confusing to some.

Yes, OP you don't need to use the blue USB Q-connector. As a matter of fact, the Q-connector for power related switches/LEDs are not a "necessity". It's there for convenience.
