Xbox one water pump connecting questions.

sinistergamer

I have been working on a Xbox one for my girlfriend and wanted to make it as unique as possible. It is going to be water cooled as I went for a radiation look as she loves fallout. The one issue is, I'm not fully knowledgeable when it comes to voltages and I want to make sure that I don't fry the Xbox. I am able to do wiring and soldering no problem as I have repaired plenty of devices but never have done something like this where I add a part into the system, but I need a diagram to work with so that I do the correct configuration and get this working for her (it was our anniversary gift) the issue is that I want to connect the Pump to the system without running extra wiring to the outside of the system. I have this pump:

 

EK-XTOP DDC 3.2 PWM Elite - Plexi (incl. pump)

https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xtop-ddc-3-2-pwm-elite-plexi-incl-pump

I would like to know how to connect this to the system for proper functionality. Can anyone help me?

 

Not sure if I posted in the correct place. sorry if I didn't.

  • From what I gather, the black/yellow connector is used to provide 12v to the pump, the blue/green is for a PWM signal to regulate the speed.

    - Power connector:  4-Pin Molex- and 4-Pin PWM FAN connector

     

    So it looks like you would have to:
    - find a 12V connection in the XBox, capable of handling the pump's extra 18W

    - find the fan connector and verify if it can control your pump

     

    That's only sufficient to get things running. There are also other variables, such as if the water cooling is sufficient to dissipate the generated heat etc ...

    I have checked the rest of it with the dissipation of the heat. You are correct so I figure I'll keep looking to figure out how to add a power on/off ability to the pump so its not on a constant.
