I was looking for a 360 aio for the am4 socket and I came across the antec mercury 360. This cooler is mostly perfect except I do not know whether a custom pump curve can be set as it is powered by the psu and not the mobo. is it possible to set the curve in the bios?

Many Thanks in advance

I'm unsure what you mean.

From the instructions I see a SATA power connector with at least an RPM sensor wire which is intended for the CPU fan to give it something to read rather than giving out a fan error. I also see the intended fan setup, though it isn't clear in their instructions where that should be plugged in. Again, I would assume the motherboard.

If you really like the look of that one, go for it. Even if it just runs at full blast, you could always wire in a resistor, or potentiometer, for more direct control. Though not that simple with a SATA power plug, but you could always swap that out too.
Hard to say 100%, those are quite terrible instructions. However your typical AIO is powered by the PSU and controlled using the fan/pump header on the motherboard. Fancier models plug directly into USB for all kinds of control and monitoring.
 


But is there a pump header on the antec mercury 360?
