Indeed, those numbers are just ASUS type socket numbering.
USB11, USB12 (USB1112), and USB15(USB15), one being empty.
My ASUS MOBO USB 2.0 headers are labelled USB1314 and USB1112,
so USB13, USB14(USB1314), and USB11,USB12(USB1112)
usb 2.0 vs usb 15

They are both USB 2.0 ports. That said...
It is interesting - the differences between the 2 ports.
The number of pins are the same. You could plug your header into either port.
But the 1112 port has those two P11 and P12 leads, while the 15 port has just one P15 pair and blanks off the other 2 pins.
So the question becomes: why the difference? Which header do you use for what?

Exactly! Thank you finally someone seen that.
What I found by searching for that so called usb 15.....when users connect a stand usb 2.0 front panel cable into that port they report on being able to use 1 of the front panel usb 2.0 ports. But my and my buddy are still baffled as to what that header is actually used for.

The mystery header is simply a standard USB 2 header but with connections for only 1 port. So it can be used for connecting a single USB 2 socket or device, either external or internal to the case. You could for example use it to fit a USB Bluetooth adaptor inside the case. I can't see any cause for bafflement here.

I have never, in all the years building PCs, gave a moments thought about whether I am plugging in one or two USB ports into the motherboard. Maybe none of my boards gave me the option.
Now I gotta look. Damn!

I've never seen a single port USB header before either, but that's what the manual says it is. Strange but not baffling or incomprehensible.
