Hello, this is my first post on the forums. I have just built a pc and have completed my loop. I ordered a bridge tool for the 24pin to easily run the pump while leak testing. I can not get the PSU to power the pump. Coming from the pump is a molex connector with 2 pins. I have connected this to a cord I have that has 2 molex connectors and a 6 pin on the other end. I plugged the 6 pin into the PSU. Also coming from the pump is a 4 pin connector with one wire leading to it. I have plugged that into a pinout on the mobo that says "sys_fan_pump". I plugged the motherboard plug into the PSU and the other end has the bridge tool plugged onto it with the wire to trick the PSU. I have plugged the PSU in, flipped the switch, waited, pump does not come on. I'm not sure what to do, just a tad upset! I would really appreciate the help, thank you all. PC specs posted below

A-HA! I looked closely and realized I only had one of the two pins leading out of the mobo plugged into the PSU. I plugged in the second connector, the 10 pin, and whala!
 
Question: Why would watercool the ram? Is it for the bling effect?

Yes sir, first build and I decided I really wanted the bling factor. I will post photos relatively soon when I get all my cable management done!
 
Ahh, I see. Just a thought tho: Watercooling the ram is a waste as the modules don't even get warm, let alone hot enough, to be watercooled. Looking forward to pics :thup:
