How to leak test fan-header pump?

Catheldrin · November 20, 2019

I have the EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM pump and I'm trying to power it without powering the rest of my system. How would I go about doing this? The pump plugs into a PWM fan header on my motherboard so it has no way to get power. Do I need to get some kind of molex to 4-pin header? Thank you.

There should have been an adapter that came with it to jump it and a 24 pin adapter to jump your PSU as well.

The EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM doesn't come with a PSU jumper (they do however sell one on their site) or if your PSU is from EVGA, it may have come with one. However, you can do this with a paperclip... here's a Silverstone PDF that shows you how. FYI: Regarding the pump's PWM cable - if it isn't getting a PWM signal, the pump will run at full speed.
