Feel like an idiot, always had molex/sata to power up and this has 6pin and 3pin for speed monitoring? How and where do i cannect it
Can i plug it straight into the psu or do i need a molex/sata to 6pin?
Going crazy

That's pretty mental. It's not going to draw 75W is it?!

Pictures on the EK site imply a flat red and black pair for power (would expect SATA/Molex plug), and a 2-wire cable I assume is tach and PWM control, so should end in a 4-pin fan plug.
 
3pin only has a wire in 1 slot, assuming monitoring only
6pin has 2 wires, 4 holes are blank
Never been so confused in my life
 
Then I'd guess you can go straight to PSU. I'm assuming the two wires go into a row each? So if you look at it as 3 across and 2 tall, there's a wire in each row?
 
That's really weird. That means both wires are either ground, or both 12V.

A photo would help - is there a manual for the pump? As the EK website only has instructions for the reservoir itself when I looked. I could be wrong.
 
Bought it off MM and cable have been braided and made to work with their psu, found out about it just now, wonder if pump is now dead. no wonder i was going mental over this
