Fractal Design Torrent Compact cables
Anyone here have this case? I know there's not much of a difference between it & the Torrent, other than space & fans.
But there's a dual cable that I need to know what it's for so that I can continue my build.
There's 2 sets of plugs on one wire. One comes with a protective cap on it that is a small 3 prong while the secondary is a 3 prong female. Are these to daisy chain compatible fans with the front 2? If they are, I can tuck those out of the way.
I wasn't able to get the same brand of fans as the front. (Prism)

This case has 14 connectors and none are labelled in any way other than the HD Audio & the front headers.

One set of cables are for power and reset buttons and the light on the power button.
Another set is for USB. Probably two kinds of them.

If there are more they can be for a fan controller/hub.

Ya, those were all labelled. Well, the usb ones were not, but you can tell.

As I mentioned, there's a total of 14 connectors on this case alone. While there is a fan controller/hub, they are not the prong style connectors. At least, not on the hub itself.

I think you may be referring to the rgb fan connectors, they are a 3 pin split wire with one end capped.

YES! Now this begs the question, they aren't for the front fans are they as they should already be connected to the hub? Where would those be connected to? Would that be for a second pair of the Prism fans?

The lack of any labels on the cables is frustrating. I don't want to plug something into the wrong spot.

Looks like I'll have to take this into the pc shop to get them to finish it as I cannot tell what cable is what and where said cable goes.

Thanks for that. Think I got all connected that needs to be. Just gotta double check. The guy in the vid is using the hub differently than someone said to in Tom's Hardware forums. He has the cpu cooler fan going to the first fan slot on the hub, not the mobo. Wish I could find that post again.
