Where do I connect the fan control/power cables???
BUILD:

PROBLEM 1 - AIO Unit
QUESTIONS:
1. Where do I plug the AIO controller module into the motherboard?
Info - The AIO cooler comes with a 'remote' controller. The three fans from the radiator each plug into that controller, but then that controller has to plug into the motherboard. At the top of the motherboard are three fan related options (each have 4-prongs):
a) "W_Pump"
b "CPU_OPT"
c) "CPU_FAN"
....I would assume I would plug it into (c) "CPU_FAN", but in the picture on the mo-bo website (link above), it appears to indicate to plug the cooler into (a) "W_pump".
2. There is a 2nd cable coming off the pump unit of the AIO cooler. It has (3) holes. Where in the world do I plug that? Is that supposed to go into (a) "W_pump" instead of the above cable for the controller? (as mentioned above, that "W_pump" header has 4-prongs on it, this cable coming off the pump on the cooler only has 3-holes).
PROBLEM 2 - Fans
QUESTION
1. The case has (2) intake fans in front and (1) exhaust fan in back. Does it matter which of the headers on the mo-bo I plug them into?
Info- The mo-bo has (3) fan headers along the right side, and (1) "PWM" header in the middle.
