Kraken X73 missing Pump header question.

[l33tjoel]

Hello,

I recently purchased the Kraken X73 off auction for very cheap. The unit is brand new, but unfortunately it does have the cables included from X72, which is flat 9 pin, instead of 2 rows 10 pin like it should be. There is currently no second hand market to purchase the right cable for it. I contacted the NZXT support and see if they can figure something out. 

 

I plugged all the fans, and connected the SATA cable. I put the "CPU_PUMP" cable into the motherboard. My question is... What is the 10 pin for? Does it power up the pump or is it RGB based? Should I run my PC without the header attached to the pump? Will it run?

Many thanks.

X72:

So on that flat connector I see a connector for the fans (you plug in the included PWM splitter), SATA Power and Pump tach. 

 

 

X73:

On this smaller connector I see pump tach, SATA power and RGB control for some reason (maybe if you don't do it through USB?).

I think it is not going to work, unfortunately. I see no connection with the pump, since, as you saw, it is all connected to the flat 9 pin and I cannot connect it to the pump. I suppose the fans would be operating, but the pump will not. 

Is there anything else I could do for it to work or do I need to somehow get the cables? They are pretty damn expensive. The X72 pump cable is £30(which I own), so I cannot imagine how much would the X73 be, if anyone was only selling it... Just hope the NZXT support won't ignore me.

Update. NZXT sold me the cables bag for Kraken X. It was cheap. Unfortunately, the delivery will take two weeks. If any of you ever encounter this situation, contact live support. They will create a custom basket for you.
