Pump power connector
SATA power3Owner's manualcdn-g.nzxt.com/dl/Kraken%20Plus_Manual_240919_V2-WEB.pdfRead 14 October 2026Hardware introduction lists the breakout cable set with an 18-pin connector, a 3-pin pump connector, an 8-pin female connector, a pump SATA power connector and a USB connector. Powering the pump: the pump SATA power connector goes to a PSU SATA power connector, and the 3-pin pump connector goes to the CPU_FAN or AIO_PUMP header. A note says the fan-fail warning may need disabling if CPU_FAN is unused, so the 3-pin plug carries the pump speed signal. The pump is powered through SATA. No option fits exactly, so sata_power is the closest.
