Why do you think it looks wrong? I don't know the correct wiring, but there is a logical wiring pattern there.

Agreed. It's a standard USB block connector, I'm sure it's fine.

yeah, it does... it looks like they incorrectly wired one of the usb ports.

i don't think you'll fry your motherboard if you plug it in... you might fry your peripheral, though.

In short (no pun intended) it will short the motherboard or device if you don't use the correct Intel designed header config.
