I think you're mistaken in the last part. If I connect the pump on the 4 pin wire, the header will receive the rpm of the pump and monitor it for possible failures. At the same time, it'll deliver 12V and a pwm signal to the fans so that they can control their speed. The pump doesn't have a...

I really don't understand your point. I have everything listed on my first post. My AIO model have a pump with a 3 pin header, so when it is connected to a pwm header it'll get constant 12V without a pwm signal to regulate it, so it'll run 100% full speed. At the same time, by connecting it...

My pump doesn't have the 4th pin, so from my understanding, it won't get any pwm signal and will just run at 100% no matter what. Isn't that right? Also I can be totally wrong but I thought the leds took energy from the argb header.

So just do be extra sure. I connect the two rad fans with each other using the Y splitter that comes with the AIO, then I connect them with the pump using another Y splitter that I have, plugging the pump in the 4 pin header, then I connect the end on the cpu_fan header. And by doing that, no...

Ok guys, searching in another threads I found this post. Is this person correct? If I connect the rad fans and the pump with a splitter to the cpu_fan header, will the pump be monitored and run at 100% while the fans can still be controlled by the cpu temperature? If so, this is the perfect fit...

I think I'll stick to my cheap Cooler Master AIO :sweatsmile: It should be enough to my use case and it would be a pain to have it returned, wait an eternity for a refund and then buying another cooler and waiting for it to arrive.

Well I didn't even find any U12A for sale in my country lol. But yeah, any good Noctua cooler here costs R$ 1000+, while this Cooler Master was like R$ 400.

Of course I would use a Noctua, but it costs more than double the price of that AIO :sweatsmile:

I just found a store where the shipping isn't that bad. Still more than the product itself but not unnafordable. But still, will that really be that better than say, plugging the rear fan together with the rad in the cpu header?

Honestly I also think that's the best setup, but I don't have one and where I live they're pretty difficult to find and buying one online isn't the best due to high cost of shipment. I should've thought of that when I was buying the rest of the parts so I could've used the same shipping...

Yeah that would be the ideal setup, but I also need to power the AIO pump.

The pump speed should always be 100%, so it doesn't need to be "controlled" by anything, right? Also, the more the cpu heats, the more the liquid heats, so the more the radiator fans need to work to cool it down, so to me it makes more sense that the radiator fans should be connected to the...

Ok, I'm building a PC and I'll try to explain everything I (will) have first. Motherboard: B550M Aorus Elite Liquid Cooler: Cooler Master ML240L V2 ARGB Case: XPG Starker Air with 1 rear fan (XPG VENTO ARGB 120) and 3 frontal fans (same as the AIO ones, Cooler Master Sickleflow ARGB 120) The...
