Hey Guys,

Well I'm still waiting on my case to get laser cut but seeing as I've got all the other components I've started assembling what I can already (DDC w/ XSPC on ZM-F3 w/ TFC Silicon Gasket and rubber washers, should provide nice cooling for the pump + absorb most of the vibrations :)).

Anyway, I go to insert the blue LED and find that the molex connection uses only the 5V line (red) and a ground while the pump one uses only the 12V line (yellow) and a ground. Would it be okay to dismantle one of the molex connectors and stick both the pump and LED connectors into one molex connector?

Edit: It just made too much sense I went ahead and did it, I see no logical reason why this wouldn't be just fine, should probably invest in a sleeving kit seeing as I have time on my hands :P

yep, i did so too.

kindly re-size the pictures. 1024x768 should do nicely.
