cooler master scout 2 advance on/off led switch

[buckmanning18]

I have a cooler master storm scout 2 advance with 5 120mm on/off led fans but the on/switch only has 2 connectors and I want to hook all the fans to the on/off switch without splicing. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

uh i think to connect 5 fans unless your mobo has 5 fan ports i think you need a splitter.

I got a splitter for the 3 pin fan connection but there's a separate 2 pin connection for the led on/off button that I cant seem to find a piece for to have more than 2

 

[kunthakenthe]

they have led slots where you can plug it in. let me look up your case.

 

[kunthakenthe]

i think those ones are specially designed to work only with stock fans. you would need to connect the leds to the switch.

ok I only saw the 2 wires that were plugged into the front 2 led fans didn't see anything else but if you find something that will clear my headache

yeah I got 3 extra fans from cooler master that are specific for the switch but the connectors to the on/off switch only allow for 2 fans

i think you need some new fans becuase those arent going to work as most fans have 4 pin (pwm) or 3 pin that supply the power and fit on the mobo.

fans work just fine just since they were made for the led on/off switch I just cant turn the led on

yeah whats the whole point of buying led fans with no leds.

yeah that's why I was trying to figure it out but sounds like its just a big headache might have to just get regular led fans

sorry about this but its confirmed those fan extra 2 pins are made for only Cooler master cases and they only fit 2. just get the regular ones and be done.

ok I was afraid of that thx

 

[kunthakenthe]

sorry about this pm any questions.

old question? You just need what is called el wire splitter 1 to 4,, each led on/off switch of case, would spread to 4, then you will have 8 led on off connectors
