I just purchased corsair H100i and i have everything connected except that there is no female cable part left for my 2
4-pin pwm cables. + what are the implications of the functionality of the cooler if they are not connected? thanks.

Did you purchase the H100i NEW?
Did you read the manual?
Did you do any research on the internet?

Suffice to say, if you leave ANY of the 4-pin PWM wires ''disconnected'', the implications to the functionality of the cooler are as follows :
1.) NO FANS --> NO AIRFLOW --> NO COOLING ==> CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OVERHEATED COOLANT
2.) NO PUMP --> NO COOLANT FLOW ==> CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF CPU HEAT EXCHANGER

So,
READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS;
HOOK IT UP, RIGHT; and
INSTALL CORSAIR MONITORING SOFTWARE (or use Motherboard software)
TEST IT FOR COMPLETE FUNCTIONALITY
(or you could wreck more than just the cooler!!)
