Need more Internal USB 2.0 Headers

Greetings!

On my change from the Rampage IV Black Edition to the Rampage V Extreme I've noticed that basically two of the Internal USB 2.0 Headers have been swapped out by a single Internal USB 3.0 Header ( the one on the bottom edge ) which is a little bit of a problem to me as I still have a set of Devices ( USB monitored Pump, Reservoir, etc... ) that connect to those Internal USB 2.0 Headers.

Because of PCIe 2.0 x8_4 Slot being occupied by a Raidr Express PCIe SSD which then blocks the installation of an Internal USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 Adapter I'm kind of lost of options thus looking at more desperate measures which brings me to the ROG_EXT Connector partially looking like an USB 2.0 Header - See R5E Manual Page 1-36.

Can anyone confirm that the right side of the ROG_EXT Connector can be used as an USB 2.0 Header?

Thanks in Advance 😃

It marked down as the USB 2.0 connector (USB1112) in the manual so I don't see why you can't. But it would mean forgoing the OC Panel. Or go like what the above poster said.

EDIT: Oh the question is answered, would be nice to delete this comment.

Thanks for the Answers/Suggestions Guys!

Damn... I was so fixated on the ROG_EXT Connector Description that I didn't even notice it also being mentioned as a USB 2.0 Port on the next page.

Could have spared myself asking the question xD

How many devices do you need to connect? I needed 2usb devices (2x AIO coolers) but wanted to keep the OC panel. So I merged the two devices into 1 USB header

Problem could be solved using the ROG_EXT Connector USB 2.0 Port!

But I have 4 Internal Devices:
Aqua Computer Aquaero 6 XT USB Fan Controller
Aqua Computer D5 Pump with USB Interface ( Speed Control )
Aqua Computer Pump Adapter for D5 Pump with USB Interface ( Fill Level )
Corsair Link Dongle for the AX1200i PSU

I wasn't planning to use the OC Panel to begin with so it's no biggie for me 😃
