Motherboard - Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master
Cooler - ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 360
Building in to a Fractal Design Define 7 case


2 questions I need some help on-

When installing the Cooler it offers 2 ways of connecting:
All-in-one cable - for single connection for pump, VRM & radiator fan speed,
or
Individual control cable - 3 individual plug tails for Pump / VRM Fan/ Radiator fan

Which is the best method of connection for my AIOC/Motherboard combination.

Secondly
I have a tube of 'Artic Silver 5' thermal paste, left over from my last PC build in 2012. Should I use that or have thermal pastes significantly improved?
