Hi do I just plug in my cpu fan to the cpu fan header and the PSU to the CPU_opt header? or do I just pick one? Thanks.
I'm using a Asus Z97-A mobo in HAF 912 case.

Is it better to plug Nepton 280's pump directly into the PSU or into CPU_FAN/OPT? I have the 5960X on the X99 Deluxe with cooling by the Nepton 280. The pump is plugged into CPU_FAN and then the two fans mounted on the radiator are split into CPU_OPT.

Should I run the pump directly to the PSU and then connect both fans to CPU_FAN & OPT? I ran OCCT Linux for 30mins and was averaging between 50C and 65C. Idle temp averages around 32C to 36C. Ahhh and my CPU is stock...no OCing.

Ambient temp is 14C. My temps seem really high? If reconfiguring the fan and pump connections do not optimize cooling, then should I try remounting the heatsink? I appreciate the input.
