AIO Cooler Cable Help/Questions

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

For the AIO you can choose to run the fans either from the unit itself or another source, the only thing from the AIO that needs to be connected is the USB connector and 3 pin for the pump onto the CPU header or pump header on the motherboard, the sata and extra connections on the AIO are all for powering the PWM fans. 

 

As for the T-Sensor on the motherboard that is an additional addon that needs to be purchased, any 10K thermistor will work on the Asus boards. 

Questions:


- Can I connect the fans on the radiator straight to the PWM hub instead of the connections coming out of the pump? Does this changes anything if either way?


-There is a sata cable coming out of my pump, where the hell does that go, do I need it? It's large so it doesn't exactly fit in many places. 


- I have a water pump (w_pump) 4 pin on my mobo, can I connect a 3 pin coming out of my pump to that?


- Pump has a 10-1, with only 4 pins on it. I don't know where it can go, apparently it's USB 2 but the only one i have left is the ROG_EXT and it still doesn't work with the pins.


- Also what does the sata looking cable coming out of the PWM hub connect to?


 


Cooler is the X61 Kraken (AIO) just btw


 


- Where do you get a T_sensor connector so I can monitor temps? Is it separate or what?


 


I can post pics if someone needs clarification/visual.
