Plug the 3-pin connector from the water block’s D-RGB LED light to
the DRGB HEADER on the motherboard. The LED will work if the pin
layout on the header is as follows:
+5V, Digital, empty, Ground.
Please ensure that the arrow indicated on the connector is
plugged into the +5V line as indicated on your motherboard.
If you put the LED Diode to the 12V RGB HEADER you
can damage the LEDs. Failure to do so will damage your
motherboard or LED strip.

CONNECTING THE D-RGB LED STRIP
To make sure the installation of EK components was successful, we
recommend you perform a leak test for 24 hours. When your loop
is complete and filled with coolant, connect the pump to a PSU
outside of your system. Do not connect power to any of the other
components. Turn on the PSU and let the pump run continuously.
It is normal for the coolant level to drop during this process as air
collects in the distribution plate. Inspect all parts of the loop, and
in the eventuality that coolant leaks, fix the issue and repeat the
testing process. Ensure that all hardware is dry before the system is
powered on in order to prevent any damage.
