Hi,

I'm having trouble connecting my fans to the h100i watercooling block. I feel as if they're both female connectors? Even though when I search on the internet, I think the fans are supposed to have male connectors? Like in this guide:

http://www.corsair.com/blog/how-to-install-the-hydro-series-h100i-cpu-cooler/

Is there some sort of extra piece I need to buy to connect them or what? Pictures of what I currently got below

These are all the relevant cables.
- One which I plugged in myself to the top of the block which I assumsed was to connect the fans to. (top of my hand, 2 connectors coming from 1 cable coming out of the top of the block)
- You can see the 2 fan connectors in my hand as well.. They are female, just like the ones coming from the h100i block.. (Middle of my hand)
- A cable that is in the h100i (not removable), which, I assume, is there to power everything up since it's a SATA power connector (bottom of the picture)

This is what I have left, the usb one isn't relevant yet and the other one is the same as the one already plugged into the h100i block at the top, which can be seen on the previous picture:

Solution
Solved..

Wooow..
I litterally stared 10 min at the connectors before asking a question, tried to get parts of bit it didn't work.. 30 seconds after asking this question I figured out that there were indeed caps on top of them and that I could pull them off..

Feel stupid now..

Solution: pull caps from fan connectors!

Sorry for the trouble ^^
