Question Corsair H100x 0rpm Pump

[ixSoph]

Hello people I'm in need of some help! Recently bought the Corsair H100x Elite cooler. After installing it all and checking the rmp of everything in the bios I saw the pump is at 0rpm I've tried looking to see if I have connected something wrong but as it came with no instructions it's rather hard for my smooth brain to work out. Any help or advice would be appreciated . I have one cable from the cooler in my CPU header on the mobo and the other in pump header. still no rpm or rgb..I feel dumb that I can't work it out it seems simple enough. I know I must have done something wrong but I'm not sure what lol. Thanks for any replies.

I have one cable from the cooler in my CPU header on the mobo and the other in pump header. still no rpm or rgb

if these are aRGB fans there will be two cables leading away for them;
one for fan RPM, a PWM 4pin cable that should connect to the CPU_FAN header.
and one for LEDs, a 3pin cable that would lead to an aRGB header.

then a 3rd cable for the pump, another 4pin cable that would connect to a ***_PUMP header.

is this cooler not designed that way?

include the motherboard make/model + other system specs.

this cooling unit was purchased new or second hand?

2 cables from the block itself

which 2, and what headers/etc are they currently connected to?

I haven't seen any reference to the cable connected to a SATA power connector, which you will need to use this AIO.

3 pin connector is in CPU_FAN and the 4 pin is in PUMP_FAN

Hi, How do I connect it to a sata power cable? Would I need to buy a certain cable?

If this is the H100x, it has a cable that connects to one of the SATA power cables coming from the power supply.

Right okay, I never saw one of those in the box

I switched the 3 pin cable from the CPU fan header to the Pump header and I'm now getting rpm on the pump in the bios.. sorry if I sound dumb but does something "need" to be connected to the cpu fan header? My fans on the cooler itself are working (connected to mobo SYS_FAN ports
