Im trying to figure out what each fan HUB means, and is capable of... my current mobo has said fan HUB's

CPU_OPT
CPU_FAN
CHA_FAN1
H_AMP_FAN
AIO_PUMP
EXT_FAN
CHA_FAN2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Im currently connected to:
cpu cooler - CPU_FAN
exhaust fan - CPU_OPT (cause i cannot find where my EXT_FAN is "Actually" located?)
front two intakes - CHA_FAN1 & CHA_FAN2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. My exhaust fan runs at 2200rpm constantly, and my 2 front intakes are at 870rpm... but thats creating -Negative Pressure, and im interested in +Positive Pressure...

2. Should I plug my cpu's heatsink fan into the CPU_OPT since it seems to run faster(2200rpm)?

I would like to know what these are for...

Theses are my current cpu and exhaust connections

CPU_OPT: This is for a second fan on your CPU cooler, like the NH-D14
CPU_FAN: Main CPU fan.
CHA_FAN1: Case fan
H_AMP_FAN: High amp fan
AIO_PUMP: Dedicated header for water cooler pump, normally people use a case fan header
EXT_FAN: Something Ive never seen used: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/226203-the-asus-fan-extension-card-i-may-be-slightly-confused/
CHA_FAN2: Case fan.
 


So would using the AOI_PUMP header as my exhaust fan would be perfectly ok? So i can throttle it back a little...


 


The problem im running into with that tho, is i have 3 case fan's atm (and would like to add more). i want 2 intakes and 1 exhaust...

 


Can you please tell me how i should connect my 3 fans to this mobo... i can worry about a "Fan Hub" some other time... i would like to unscrew my side panel off, and reconfigure my fans... like "at this moment'...

 


Well im useing CPU_OPT header for my exhaust fan.. and its constantly maxed out at 2200rpm... so i wanna be able to "control" it... you know what header will give me that option?
