Hi i've got a ultracool II lcd connected it all up but don't know where to connect the Three pin ventilator wire's which come from the Fan wire socket's on the lcd it tell's me to connect them to 3 pin ventilator extension plug the wire's are for SYS CPU AND HDD. Cheer's for any help. Gary

When i connected them to the back of the lcd the connector on the wire has no pin's and slot's onto the lcd wire's but now i have to connect the other end's of the wire's to sys hdd cpu but there are wire's on the end's of these and i just can't see where or how to connect them...

Also the lcd display light's up in 4 different colour's... But there is no button on the lcd to change it would this be done by changing where i connect the hdd led? Cheer's Gary.

This article explains the product and has some good pics.

The temp probes connect to the panel and not your motherboard...
Tape the probe end to the component you wish to monitor.

Ok i worked out how to do the cpu fan to get rpm readings on the lcd... I found the cpu fan and plugged that wire into 3 pin ext wire coming from the lcd and it works great... for my side panel window fan the fan doesnt have to same connection wires as the cpu fan so maybe the fans that come with the xblade case aint able to give rpm reading???

Only fans with 3 leads will report rpm's. The yellow wire reports rpm's, red is +, black is -. If your fan only has 2 wires (red&black) it wont report rpm's and as far as i know there is no way to add this feature to a fan that doesnt allready have it.
