Unable to power H80i via HX750 or GA-X79S-UP5?

Connect pump power header to PSU, and 3-pin pump RPM wire to any motherboard 3 or 4-pin header.

 

I connected the 3-pin to my GA-X79S-UP5 cpu_fan header.

 

The other cable, which I'm guessing is a molex cable?, won't reach my PSU (HX750 at the bottom of a Corsair 600T case), but that PSU doesn't seem to have a port that'll accept the cable from the pump anyway?

 

If it's meant to plug into SATA power, any ideas on where that might happen on my board? The only open port within range of the cord is a SATA/USB3 port that doesn't look like it'll accept the power header cable from the pump.

 

Regardless, the H80i isn't powering on and I'm consistently getting core temps af 91 degrees C.

 

I have a feeling that I'm missing something. Any help is appreciated.

yout have to plug the pump cable to a sata power. These are on your PSU not in your MOBO.

 

if you take a look at any of your HD's you will see 2 cables: 1 wide and 1 narrow. It's the wide one.

 

here you have some examples:

I answered you in your other thread on this same issue. The water block power cable goes into any open connector on a SATA power cable that is powering your HDDs or DVD.

Ah, with your response and the one from Speed, I get it now. It kinda threw me a bit because the instructions said to connect it to the PSU, but the PSU didn't have SATA ports in the same shape as the cable. I've got it all hooked up and powered on via an extra SATA cable from the case. Running tests now. Thanks for the help.
