YXuewei Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi guys, Just bought a Water 3.0 Extreme for my new build. And I just found out that one of my Y cable only have 3 pins not 4 pins. So 1 of pin is missing. Just wondering does that matter ? or I need to concact Thermaltake to get a new one?

ThermalMike Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Hello, Sorry of the delay, can you post a picture of the Y cable so I can compare? I see you are outside of the USA, send me a PM with some more details/photos and I can help you get in contact with someone for an RMA if needed. I will pull the adapter tomorrow from our warehouse and take a look to help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Got you an answer! With the Water 3.0 Y-adapters, you will see only (1) split connection will have the (4-pin) while the rest will have only (3). This is correct. When you connect a splitter to the motherboard header, for the PWM function to work properly, you just need to consider how it will work. 4-pin fan (Master) 3-pin fan (Slave) Where the Master will adjust based on the temp to increase the fan speed when needed, the Slave will just "mimic" what the Master is doing. I can see what you mean as it does look like a pin is missing, but it is perfectly fine. Tt Andy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
