YXuewei Posted February 28, 2015 Report 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? Quote
ThermalMike Posted March 4, 2015 Report 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
ThermalMike Posted March 5, 2015 Report 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
