Hey guys,
I have a Asus maximus mobo with the following stuffs on the title. I also have the corsair h105 radiator with pump so not sure where to plug the cord to. The cord from the pump is a 3pins. I tried searching for an answer through this forum but look like nobody mention anything about a mobo that have it own waterpump header. Almost all the answer is to plug it to a available cpu fan header. Can someone help me out which to plug the waterpump to. This is my new pc.

A 4 pin connector is the same as a 3 pin except that the 4th pin allows for speed and/or performance control via software. Rule of thumb, and how I built my first computer, if the port matches the plug, use that port.

So yes you want to plug the pump into any 3 pin connector it doesn't matter which, only your own preference.
