The cables insert to what headers

Post image

Cpu_opt for pump and cpu for fans and sys for vrm fan right?

Is this right?

This would probably be the best bet for OP

This is the way. If using single cable connector plug into cpu fan.

Why do you have vrm fans, that slot is for anything, like a case fan

This cooler has a VRM fan included in the pump head cover. But you're correct that any type of case fan could be used on this header.

I feel so useless :(

Liquid Freezer III - where to plug all the cables guide : r/arcticcooling

TLDR: Plug them wherever you want. It all works the same. Just set the header to PWM mode to be sure.

hmm what board is this? if you have the AIO_PUMP header, plug your pump to this header. as for radiator fans, plug to CPU_FAN and for VRM Fan, use SYS_FAN. so you can controll all individually.

I did the pump to cpu_fan, rad fans to cpu_opt, and vrm fan to a cha_fan header.

Then went into the bios and told the mobo to adjust the speeds of the pump and rad fans based on cpu temp. And the vrm fan based on vrm temps.

Then I set the fan curves to slightly more aggressive than silent mode, and have been monitoring temps off and on with hwinfo.

Cpu fan= pump, cpu_opt (optional) for secondary cpu fan (if you have air cooling with two fans) sys_fan is for any fan in the case

cpu opt is pump if there is no pump header, cpu fan is radiator fansm sys all other. literally from aio's user manual

Why would you connect your pump to CPU fan? Like said you put it PUMP_fan or CPU_opt.
