Watercooling: 2 cables

[TiluChris]

Hello

I just finished installing the Thermaltake Floe Riing 360 and it works nicely, but - don't laugh too much - I have one rest cable and I don't know what to do with it: It's a cable from the pump with a 9 pins connector.
There are two cables from the pump: I have plugged the 3 pins one on the pump-fan connection of my motherboard. But the 2nd one with 9 pins, I have no idea what for it is and as I have no 9 pins on my motherboard, I am really lost with it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Tilu.-

It plugs into the RGB controller box which comes with the cooler. Read the manual for more detail.

All the thermaltake RGB stuff including the fans, led strips, and pumps plug into their RGB controllers. I think it is a black rectangle about the size of a 2.5 mm ssd. You can't control the lights without it.

Yes I know about the controller (the black box with the switches where the fans are connected) and I have other cables plugged into it as per guide. But the one from the pump is not mentioned in this guide, and there is no 9 pins connector left on the controller for that of the pump.

I'm like 99.9% sure that the 9 pin from the pump goes into the controller and the 4 pin goes to the mobo. Do you already have 5 fans connected to the controller? The controller should have 5 9pin ports, a micro usb for daisy chaining, and a molex port for power.

Thank you! Your last post was the "click" I needed!

There are five 9 pins connectors on the controller, out of which 1 is not covered by an on/off switch. I was wondering why and now suddenly it becomes clear: This last one is for the pump fan!

I feel pretty stupid... However, to my defense, it was my first water cooling installation and the guide is a minimized one.

Thank you all, great support as usual.
