Help with the Mach II GT

[imported_X_Man]

There is a red/red 2 holed female power cord that runs out of the Mach II GT - where should I connect it to?

Thanks

That should connect to the heater element that goes on the back of the motherboard

Thanks Marvt! So the instruction wants me to connect this to the chip controller - what's the chip controller?

Sounds like it means the control board

One set of heater cable should run up the hose, and the other for the back plate should be separate, which plug into the control board. I think mine had a connector half way, so that it could be unplugged easily...

OK - I guess the Chip Controller is the chip_fan? If this is the case, do I need an adpater to convert the 2 prong into a three prong like they did here:

Ahh! Got it! Thanks guys - it was in my Chip kit!

That's the connector I was talking about in that photo above... 8)

Have fun with it, and let us know how you get on

Well guys I will start a thread to show my progress and post pics for my fellow newbies complete with tips.

This weekend I worked on using a drexel tool to cut a hole in the bottom for the hose and 4 screws to mount the case on the Mach II GT. This was easier than making extenders for all the connections.

Tonight, I will work on mounting the kit to the motherboard.

Thanks for all your help guys!
