Got a Swiftech MCP350 with an XSPC acrylic top from someone on the forum. Not sure, but the thing seems broke -- the rotator (or immelator) wheel doesn't spin when my PC power is on. I have the pump plugged in to a power connector and have verifiied that connector is working. Is there something I'm missing here?

Here's the strange thing... for power, this pump has a 3-pin fan connector, not the normal 4-pin molex. I thought the MCP350 only came with a 4-pin molex for the power connector. Luckily, I had a 3-pin to 4-pin molex adapter lying around, albeit the pump still doesn't work. I've also tried plugging the 3-pin power connector directly into my mobo, but still nothing.
 
Please tell me that you're not running the pump dry... They need to be run with water in them. Running dry kills the pump.
