I just ordered this motherboard for a new AMD 965 build. I also ordered an ECO ALC liquid cooler. My question is this:

I see that I should attach the fan power cable to the board's CPU fan header and the pump power to the power fan header (closest to the pump anyway). The pump should run at full speed all the time. So . . . what do I need to set/enable/disable in BIOS for the power fan header to ensure that the pump runs at full speed all the time and not at variable speeds?
 
Solution
If you are worried about the BIOS limiting the efficiency of the radiator, just get a 3-pin to molex adapter, like THIS. This way, you won't have to worry about messing with the BIOS, and have a constant feed from the power supply for the radiator.
