Question about W_pump and AIO_pump headers.

[sorbp]

Hello Guys, I'm trying to trouble shoot if my AIO_pump header is bad or if my alphacool solo just died on me a few years ago.

When it did, i had trouble ruling out if it was the AIO_pump header or just the pump.

When i replaced it with one of these: https://www.aquatuning.com/en/watercooling/custom/radiators/radiators-active/koi-alphacool-eisbaer-e...

I ended up using the W_Pump header, and it worked I can't quite remember why now, so I wanted to go back and test the AIO_Pump header to make sure what is working and what is not.

So i was checking the pin-out of the headers to make sure I won't short something by putting it in the wrong place, and as I was going through the manual I got a little confused, but I think the headers are "upside down" from each other in the manual and that is why the pinout especially ground reads as backwards between the AIO_pump and W_pump header.

Check the attatched screenshot from the manual and tell me if I'm reading this all wrong?!

I agree, it looks exactly the same just upside down.

Thank you for your time sir, I have since tested and it is indeed the case.

Hi,

The header orientation is different, that’s all. PWM pins are universally the same. Things could get messy if they weren’t 😅.
