Thanks for the reply! I was thinking exactly the same, but when I looked I didn't see anything. The entire frame is clear plastic, so I'm fairly certain I haven't missed anything. If it was solely for the LED, I would still be stumped as I'd quite like the LEDs to work as well.

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a budget build (again), using only used parts (again). The case that I got (Bitfenix Prodigy in white) had a really "old-schoolesque" fan in it . It's a Corsair Clear White Texture 200mm LED fan (see images). I wanted to plug it into a Y-Splitter cable, as the mobo only has one chassis fan header. My problem now is this: The Corsair fan plug does not fit into my (4 pin) Y-Splitter (see more images). Q: Is it possible to connect them somehow? I was unable to find an adapter cable online that would fit either end. A friend offered help with soldering them together. Q: Would that run the risk of frying the cable or even the mobo header? AFAIK the fan is 12 volts, but I would have to check again. Thanks for any help in advance!

That's actually not that bad of an idea. I might give that a shot!

Yes, I am afraid that is the case. RMA is no option, unfortunately, as the AIO was bought used on eBay. Thanks for your help, much appreciated. If anyone else still has ideas, I am all ears.

Thanks for the tip. I have tried that too, already. Unfortunately to no avail. Original Post edited.

Hello everyone, I have an question regarding my h80i V2 AIO Cooler. Im currently maiking a budget build using used parts exclusively (except for the motherboard) in the Silverstone SG13 Mesh. I really wanted to use an ATX PSU, as my SFX PSU isn't modular, and I wanted it to be as "clean" as possible. Because the h80i has really stiff tubes that, additionally, come out the top of the water block, I tried my luck by squeezing the tubes so far as to allow for the ATX PSU. There are pictures attached for reference. The result was this: - The sleeving came off, or out rather, one of the tube fittings, as can be seen in the pictures. - The CPU temps are between 75°C and 83°C at idle in BIOS. I did test boot the system out of the case beforehand to make sure all my used parts were working as intended, which they did. I am 100% certain, that the cooling unit was working before installation and idle temps in BIOS were at 35 degrees C. My question now is this: Do you also think that the amount of force put on the CPU block somehow damaged the pump; most likely irreversibly? Do you know of ways I may be able to salvage this thing? Edit: Upon testing the pump itself was audible. Now there is no perceivable pump noise and neither are the tubes or the water block vibrating in any noticable way. Edit 2: I have pretty much already exhausted most troubleshooting attempts. I should have mention that I have booted the system with the PSU outside of the chassis. I tried all possible different fan headers as well. Thanks in advance for any (attempt to) help.
