Hello!

I recently purchased the Titan X AMD 1.2 and I need help connecting my distro pump to my PSU to fill the system and test it for leaks.

Firstly, I tried removing my 24-pin ATX cable from the Mobo to not have any power running through the system while testing for leaks. However, I was unable to find any cables provided with the EVGA 850 PSU that allowed me to connect the distro pump cable directly to the PSU. Turning on the PSU obviously didn't turn on the pump in this case. Then I decided to plug the mobo in to the PSU to provide it power and see if that turned on the pump. However, the pump still won't power on, despite being plugged into the mobo and the mobo being powered on.

I suspect I may have gotten a faulty distro pump, but I would like to try plugging it directly into the PSU to check it before returning it to Micro Center. What cable do I use to do that?

Dear Customer,

When you plugged the pump into the mobo, did you go into bios and adjust the speed of the pump by PWM function?
You can have a try to connect the pump directly to your PSU by this one BPTA-PSC-SOC, such as the video.
