Hello All,
TL;DR: Looking for help/guidance from those that have successfully installed a RYUJIN II on if the red circled 9 pin connector should be hooked up to the Motherboard USB2 9 pin header, or if it should be hooked up to the Motherboard 12V PWM 4 pin header as Asus tech support says.
___
Long version
I recently received a RYUJIN II 360 AIO to complete my new build. The wiring schematic in the instructions wasn't completely clear (at least to me since the diagram shows 9 wires on the 9 pin but only 4 are connected in actuality) so I reached out to Asus to ask where the red and blue cables should be plugged into with the assumption that Red would plug into a motherboard USB 2, and Blue would be plugged into a motherboard RBG. Their initial tech support wasn't sure so they escalated it to the engineering team and when getting back to me confirmed that the Blue goes to the RBG of the motherboard, but said that the red circled 9 pin connector actually plugs into a 12V 4 pin PWM on the motherboard, not a USB2.
This concerned me since it was a 9 pin connector and USB would be 5v not 12 after after questioning multiple times Asus continued to confirm it was to be plugged into a 4 pin 12V PWM header on the motherboard.
after plugging everything up and finishing the build, I found the AOI to be dead on arrival. The fans would work if I plugged them directly into the Mother board Fan header, but the Pump and OLED
screen could never work (I believe because these get power from the controller).
Anyway, after researching it seems like many review sites and youtubes seem to suggest that the 9 pin was actually suppose to plug into the USB2 Header on the motherboard
I'm in the process of RMAing my AIO but now I'm a little concerned of if it was DOA or if the controller got fried by plugging it into 12V PWM instead of a USB2. On one hand Asus insists it should go to a 12V header but on the other I see a lot of articles saying USB2, and that seems to make more sense to me since a micro USB comes off the controller to power the pump and OELD (it seems).
I really don't want to fry the replacement as well so was hoping I could ask from some guidance form the community on how successful functioning Ryujin IIs have been wired up in regards to the red circled 9 pin and if they have been plugged into a USB2 motherboard 9 pin, or if they were plugged into the 12V PWM mother board head as Asus says.
Sorry for the long right up but thanks in Advance for the information
