Apparently the way I had it was connecting power and ground to the signal RPM & PWM pins, which is why the PWM chip exploded. Plugged it in the other way, and although I have fried the control portion, nothing is melting or popping any more. This is such a minor part of my project that I am already regretting choosing your products since apparently you have decided not to document them any more.

I am following online pinout guides like this one.Please let me know before the second controller arrives. You could save everyone a lot of trouble here by using cables with the standard IEEE color scheme, although I am sure these all black ones are cheaper.

On the 4 pin connector as it sits in the controller looking top (side with the buttons) down I have the following left to right: I have this thing wired up to a molex and have tucked the unused signal wires into the shield that came with the cable. Already fried a controller and it takes almost a full week to get another one. The first fan connector with 4-pins on the fan splitter will be the primary fan.I also need the pinout for the 4 pin header on the north (opposite the 5-pin fan connectors) side. To connect more than three fans, use the included fan splitters.

Connect up to three fans directly to the three channels using the connections from the fans.

Step 4) Connecting your case fans to the Controller

You can also use any provided extension cables from the NZXT RGB accessories if it does not reach.

Using the lighting connection cable provided with your NZXT RGB accessory, connect to one of the two LED channels located on the side of the controller.

Step 3) Connecting your NZXT RGB Accessories to the Controller Once done, connect your Controller to your SATA power.First, ensure your PC is completely turned off and free of power.Step 2) Installing the Controller inside your build Ensure you have a free SATA power connection from your PSU and USB 2.0 header on your motherboard before attempting installation.You can choose to either install the controller first in your build using the provided velcro and magnetic strips or install your fans/RGB accessories to the controller first.Step 1) Preparing the RGB & Fan Controller for Installation
