ASUS Maximus HERO VII USB2.0 question

[alentor]

Hello, I want to add 4 extra USB 2.0 connectors I want to use a 4 usb plate (http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Female-Plate-Adapter-USBPLATE4/dp/B00015Y0FK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420378416&sr=8-1&keywords=USBPLATE4)

The question is, can I use USB13 (as seen in Figure 01) for my USB 2.0 front panel USB, and USB1112 + USB910 for the 4 USB plate?

I'm asking this question cause of on MAXIMUS VII HERO User's Manual page 46 USB13 is also labeled as ROG_EXT (Figure 02) as well as on the solder mask(Figure 03).

off topic, I have tried posting this on asus rog forums but after editing the post once, the post became unaccusable.

 

Edit: added figure 03A/B

Yes you can use the right bank of pins (usb13) as a normal usb 2.0 header. I have same board & I use it as a connection for my corsair h80i which requires a normal usb2.0 connection.
