Within the box the musketeer comes in are various cables and connectors to help you setup the device into your computer system.

  • The Musketeer
  • 80cm Thermal Sensor Cable
  • 80cm 3 pin to 4 pin molex fan cable
  • 80cm 3 pin (3 wire) to 3 pin (2 wire) molex fan cable + 3 pin (1 wire) fan cable
  • PCI socket with single 3.5mm stereo cable
  • Dual 3.5mm stereo plug audio cable
  • Screw Pack
  • Multi Language Printed User Manual
Some of these cables seem a little long winded. Basically Cooler Master has catered for all users, some people use 4 pin fans, and some use 3 pin fans. Cooler Master has included cables to allow 3 pin and 4 pin fans to be connected to this device. Additionally they have included what looks like a splitter, but it enables you to monitor the fan’s voltage and control the fan speed via the Cooler Master Musketeer and at the same time monitor the RPM of the fan via the motherboard fan headers.
