Installing Radiators
The radiator panels have sliding adjustment. Use this to position your radiators so that the ports
are optimally aligned with the ports on the Distribution Plate.
Spectre 3.0 PWM & DRGB Hub
The included PWM & DRGB Hub splits 1x PWM to x6 and 1x DRGB to x3. Also included is a PWM
and DRGB extension cable. This is a 5v DRGB Hub, do not connect RGB or anything else to the DRGB
headers. 3pin or 4pin PWM fans can be used. Most motherboards have a H-AMP higher powered
fan connector, preferably use this header to run multiple fans. Check the power consumption of
your fans and the output of your motherboard, we are not responsible for damage caused by
overloading your motherboard headers.
Cable Management
Most of the cable management in Spectre is integrated. See step 12 on how to use the integrated
cable management. There are other cables which need to be managed outside of the integrated
cable management.
The Power Button cable can be routed behind the front radiator, through the Cable Shroud under
the pump, into the PSU Shroud and then up to the motherboard.
The D5 Pump power and PWM cables can be routed through the Cable Shroud into the PSU Shroud.
The Spectre 3.0 PWM & DRGB Hub is included to cleanup your radiator fan and DRGB cable
management. We suggest installing this onto the end of one of the radiators so that it is close to
the fans. This way you can run your radiator fans to it, hiding the cables behind the radiators. We
have included a PWM extension cable so that you can run all your fans from a single header on
your motherboard (see information and warning under ‘Spectre 3.0 PWM & DRGB Hub’). We have
also included a DRGB extension cable so that you can run the included 3x DRGB LED strips on
Spectre 3.0 from a single header on your motherboard.
The PCIe Cables are routed straight down through the PSU Top Panel into the PSU Shroud for a
short and clean cable route.
Some customers may want to use fan and/or lighting controllers. This is something we prefer to
avoid due to the complexity of the cable management. These days motherboard fan and lighting
control is so good that controllers are most often not necessary. Controllers can be hidden in the
PSU shroud if they are needed or in the corner between the two radiators.
