[SOLVED] ML360R Pump connection problem

[muhammadahmad9794]

Hi members, I have purchased CoolerMaster ML360R and my motherboard is Gigabyte H81M-HD3 and my motherboard has only two 4pin headers. I can connect fans using cables provided by coolermaster by I am having problem for connecting 3pin connector that comes out from pump because my motherboard do not has any 3pin connector. Please help me how I can use pump with this 3pin connector.

Connect the pump connector to the CPU_FAN header and line up the keyway on the connector with the key on the motherboard fan header. 3 pin devices will run full speed on PWM 4 pin fan headers, and that's ok, because you want the pump to run at 100% full speed at ALL TIMES anyhow, so it's a non-issue.

The fans are a different story. What did Cooler master give you for connecting those? Where are you planning to connect those? Where will you connect your other case fans, assuming you HAVE some other case fans.

I don;t have any case fans, cooler master gave 1 to 4 4pin connector i can use them and i will connect rgb cables to controller provided by coolermaster the only problem left is of 3pin pump cable

Ok, so connect that to the CPU_FAN header like I said. Be sure to center the 3 pin connector to the tang (key) that sticks up from the fan header on the motherboard so that it matches the cutout on the 3 pin connector coming from the pump.

As seen here.

Ok i got your your point it will connect with Baclk(GND) Red(12v) and Yellow(sense) while 4th wire that is of control will left empty and I will not be avlae to control speed of pump ok sir thank you so much for your advice.
