Phobya DC12-260 Help

Hi,

 

I think I have two questions, I may have more haha:

 

1. There are two cables coming out of the back of the pump, one is a molex and one is a 4 pin with two wires going into it. What do I do with those? I'm assuming the 4 pin goes into my CPU fan header on my motherboard? Idk :wacko:

 

2. Which is the inlet and outlet? There is no manual or markings and I've only seen one image on google which illustrates it, I'm not sure if its authentic.

 

3. Can all pumps be controlled with the mobo? Even without PWM?

 

Oh yeah, pumps can run on their side can't they?

 

Thanks for all your help,

 

I'm a water-cooling noob if you didn't already know ;)

I believe the 4 pin is for 12v power and the PWM signal, I checked the pinouts and the molex is for power and ground. I'm assuming you need to connect both. The inlet is at the centre front of the pump and the outlet is at the edge/top of the pump.

Thanks, I assume I connect the molex to my PSU?

Yup, but if your unsure I would run on molex power alone and see if it will run.

as explained, the molex is power and the smaller header connection is speed

control. if the smaller is not connected, the pump will run 100%

Yeah I saw that top pic, I wasn't sure if that was authentic. Thanks for your help, what should I look for in terms of an adapter for molex? I don't really understand molex if I'm honest.

using the moles puts 12-volts to the pump and the smaller connector to a

motherboard header will allow speed control and RPM monitoring.

you dont need an adapter, just plug it into the molex on PSU.

I don't have a molex connector on my PSU. I have a CX430M.

I don't understand, a molex connector has 4 connectors, but the only connector on my PSU that has 4 long is my PCIe power, which is for my CPU.
