cpu_fan vs waterpump header

[Mooseman4499]

OK, I've seen a bunch of threads on this subject but none specific to my Asus Z170 motherboard. Perhaps someone with this MoBo can help.

According to ASUS, I should plug my water pump in to the water pump header but I get an error and am unable to boot saying I have a CPU fan failure. If I plug the fans for the radiator of my water pump in to the CPU_FAN header and disable the low speed setting in my BIOS as suggested by ASUS I still get the same boot error. At this point I can't figure out any way to be able to boot up if my water pump is plugged in to the water pump header. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks - Mike

What is the water cooler you are using?

It was built in to my GENOME full size case I bought with the system.
