How should I set the cables? Should the pump or fan go to cpu_fan?

In theory, "CPU Fan" but you always want the pump going full tilt. An alternative is getting a Molex connector and just running it from your power supply. You don't want to use fan control software to moderate the pump at all. Great install video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc3-VgkPJCY

if your motherboard allows you to set, and has more than one PWM port, I'd set the pump to CPU fan pins (if pump fails, that'll likely cause motherboard to signal a "polite" shutdown; if the fan fails, it's less likely to cause temperature trip inside the CPU itself). I set the pump on max, and the fan on another fan header for a particular temp I am hoping for inside the case..... in mine an overclocked amd 8350 @4.8Ghz no worries at all. Hope that helps!

it should be spinning at maximum speed if you plug it directly to your PSU via molex. otherwise you can control the fan speed if you plug it to your mobo. hope this helps.

The CPU fan power on the motherboard is all that is needed. Your motherboard will modulate the RPM of the fan, depending on the requirement. Just like the stock cooler.

Connect a molex to the fans if you want to use the integrated fan controller. There should be a female molex connector coming for the controller

The cables you need should be on the power supply. If they are not, then it might be a good idea to update your Power Supply Unit. Adding a video card to a PSU that was not meant for it can cause system instability.

Your chassis fans should connect directly to the controller connectors. If the connections are incompatible you'll need a converter.

Normally, a fan at the back of the case should exhaust air. You want to pull air all the way through the case, and the power supply (also normally at the back) pulls air out of the case - the back fan should assist this. If you use additional fans at the front of the case, you want these configured to intake air. I've also seen configurations where exhaust is at the top, and intake at the bottom, but you want to make sure to include the disk drives in the air flow pattern.

How fans connect is self-evident from the connector. No fans ever connect with molex. Not sure why you would even ask such a question, lest it be your first build and you wish to act like you actually know something. Positive suggestion: Add extra fans. They will all connect the same way as any fan does.As to Max RPM, read the description: "120 mm fan x 2, 1200 RPM, 17 dBA" All other fans "OPTIONAL" which means "Not Included"

In your case.. using it as a rear case fan, use the molex connector, not the 3 pin one.. &lt;unless you want to monitor the fans RPM's via the MB&gt; As for the setting.. Does your case get warm? If so use the high setting.. I personally like quiet fans, since its a case fan, try the medium setting. If you have a temp monitor with that case, watch it and adjust accordingly.

The fans are for the interior of the box and not made for a heat sink fan for the CPU/"Chip". You should check with the AMD site to see what is the optimal heat sink for the chip that you have. If it needs a large one with a fan, then make sure you have a power supply that can handle the load. Hope this helps - Ken

Forgot to mention, the case fan is quite loud so I would either replace it with a quiet one or get a simple fan speed controller. This is what i got.

If i'm understanding your basic question. All the fans are connected to the power supply by the molex cable. I do not recommend doing this. But i spliced a bunch of stuff to get mines to fit and look clean. If not, just invest sata cables. It does have all fans included, but you may have to invest in some extra adapters to power them all.

You connect the fan either to the motherboard or to the case. If your motherboard has sensors or settings to regulate the fans then you can use those or if you would prefer to do it via the case you hook them up to the case instead. I would recommend hooking the CPU fan to the motherboard as my MOBO gives me an error every boot saying no CPU fan detected.

System , somewhere in the case , probably where air isnt directly hitting it . CPU , on/near heatsink (dont let it get too near the fan .HDD - ?????????? I just have this one in my system as well ...

You need and adapter to plug into a free molex on your power supply usually with 2-3 extra fan plugs . Or wire them directly to the power supply with any free molex you have Red wire = 9 volts Yellow wire = 12 volts and black is ground . I have used both methods with great success

As said in the previous comments, once it's plugged into the motherboard, you are halfway there. My fan has a 3-position switch at the end of a wire, else, it will be on the case. The speed settings are low, medium and high.

I have a similar configuration and ended up having to buy an extension cable. A friend of mine did a build similar to mine and claimed the cable was long enough. I wanted to have some slack and extra length for better routing around the motherboard so as not to interfere with airflow for cooling.
