Corsair H60

Hello,

I have a Dell XPS 630i stock speed, decided I wanted to install the new cooling unit, my old heatsink had a fan inside it and was like a jet airplane everytime I wanted to play a game...
Well the install went pretty easy, but my mobo doesnt have any 3 pin on the board like the instructions say...hooking it up to a 4 pin wouldnt hurt anything right? It is the connector for the pump so I wasnt sure..
Also, seems like my temps are higher than normal, 45C idle...any reasons as to why/what I screwed up on?

Thanks

temps are kinda ok wood have thought the 4 pin wood be ok.

Hook the Fan up to the CPU 4 pin header on the motherboard and connect the pump 3 pin cable to a 4 pin molex cable via an adapter which you can get really cheaply from just about anywhere.

This will ensure that the pump receives the full 12volts.
