s about Asus Rampage V Edition10 water cooling are common.
I need to figure out the best place to connect these components.
Understanding Asus's premium components means there are two CPU fan headers available, allowing power supply and PWM control (assuming a suitable PWM pump exists). You might consider purchasing a pump control unit similar to those used with Aqua systems. Currently, I'm utilizing an Arduino to build a complete fan controller that I can connect my pump into, enabling further customization like fan curves. TL;DR
Use the CPU fan headers on the board
I want to configure a dual custom loop cooling system with two pumps. My motherboard has a water pump header, but I was advised against using it. Power seems fine, and I think the 4-pin (2 wires) connectors are meant for monitoring. I’m unsure about the correct connection points. Many more powerful pumps, such as DDC and D5 models, use Molex or SATA for power with just two wires (RPM and PWM) to the fan headers. If you have two fan headers, you can connect one pump to each and control their speeds separately based on temperatures. This setup will help reduce noise since pumps are typically the loudest part in a loop.
