Two H150i Pros have different wires

I bought a Corsair H150i Pro RGB a few days ago, and got it on Thursday, only to find that the frame was bent so much that I couldnt screw it into my PC case. I ordered a replacement from Amazon, and it just arrived a few hours ago. When going to install it just now, I noticed that the 3pin fan header coming from the pump only had one wire, instead of the 2 wires that were on the one I'm sending back. Can anyone explain this?

That's the rpm wire which is just used for monitoring the pump speed. There's the usb cable and iCue for control and psu sata cable for power.

Okay that makes sense, but still why did the other have two wires coming off of it?

The other wire is for ground but I think it was removed since it wasn't necessary.
