I'm new to this too, but what I learned in my research was that your AIO should be connected to AIO header rather than CPU. The AIO pump will run at full speed not so on CPU. Once I did this my CPU temp came down. Hope this helps.

Thanks, from all the research that I have done, this was the one thing that was consistently said.

Thanks bgunner. This was the little nuances that I wanted to know about the board and associated software. I will put the push and pull front intakes on CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT so they can be controlled together and the 140mm top exhaust on CHA_FAN2.

Thanks for your reply. I found a couple of videos of a guy testing out the the placement of a 240mm AIO in my new case. He actually recommended putting the hoses down from the pump and at the bottom of the radiator. It was an air/noise issue. And the pump is lower than the top of my radiator.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've been looking at a lot of testing videos on how to position the AIO. I have it in my current case as top exhaust. My CPU temps were still a little high so that's why I decided to put it in front.
