OK so I'm trying a new cooling setup on my pc and just wanted your opinions on connection of the pumps.
I currently have an Asus sabertooth 990fx r2.0 and the watercoolers going on are an ID-COOLING FROSTFLOW 240L AIO on the Cpu and on the GPu I'm pairing an nzxt kraken g10 with a thermaltake water 3.0. Just waiting on delivery on the last couple of things and can't decide which way round to connect the pumps and fans etc...

You get a splitter with your ID cooling AIO

which will easily be capable of running your two CPU AIO fans off the CPU_FAN header. The pump can be connected to the CH_FAN3 header.

For the GPU, you're going to need to make so with the remaining three fan headers in the lower half of the board after the CPU socket, i.e CHA_FAN1/CHA_FAN2 and CHA_FAN4

Might I ask what case you're working with? You'r e going to need quite a bit of mounting area inside the case. You also didn't mention if you're working...

It's a corsair 800d full tower case. I have bought a second fan splitter just in case I also bought an adapter to attach the g10 fan direct to the pcb. It's the performer the smallest one of the water 3.0 range, apparently more than enough for a GPU though. Also I was thinking the pumps would have to connect to the cpu connecter and the chassis 4 due to those being the only two that can be controlled individually so I could set them to max.
