The original heater for the Mach 1 prometia

[Tomsawyer]

Good morning all.

Due to the incredible humidty and heat we here in Florida are suffering from I am starting to have to deal with a great deal more condensation then I would care to.

I am using the original Prometia Mach 1 unmodified and never had to use the little 7w heater that came with the system. I normally use neoprene and cut out a template for the backplate, then a template to put inside the hold down kit and another for the outer section. Sounds like overkill but so is water and your system :slapass:

Ever with all that I still see water beads around the sticky seal string and on the back plate outside.

So for the first time I realize I am going to have to connect the little micro heater.

My problem however is JUST HOW DO YOU CONNECT IT?????? It appears to be a 2 prong plug that just does not connect to anything that my motherboard or power supply offers???? I have a PC&P 510AGL with SATA plugs, 6 phase plugs, 4 prong Molex plugs, and the micro Floppy connectors.

None of these match or mate with that Heater plug. So for those who have used the heater, how did you get it to connect??????

do you have to attach it to the mach control board?

[Tomsawyer]

It would not be long enough to attach to the control board. And for the mach 1 cables, there is the power switch lead, the reset switch lead, and the power lead.

It appears that it should connect somehow to a powersupply lead but I have no idea which one...

Holy Cow! I think the big man upstairs is listening to me :)

I do believe that this is what I will need!

[Tomsawyer]

Well the plug I need was 3 bucks, I could make own but this way I know its solid. Went ahead and got some seal string. Total bill for parts 18 bucks.

Shipping from Canada however cost me another 18 :slapass: :slapass:


They do have 1 Mach 2 left, a complete unit complete with a Lan-Li PC65 case that they did for review magazine. $865 USA if one just has to have one :fact:

overprized, can make a custom for almost half the prize.
