Hello,
I am helping a friend build a computer soon and I am just trying to make sure I connect his Corsair H50 to his ASUS Z170-A properly. The manual (last file) can be found within the link. Headers are on page 14 and 37. The motherboard doesn't appear to have a PWR_FAN header. However, it does have CPU_Fan, CPU_OPT, and a W_PUMP header. I plan on setting the PC up with a push pull config.

Based on the information, how would plug the H50 into the motherboard along with the 2 fans cooling?

H50 Cooler = ?
Fan 1 = ?
Fan 2 = ?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!!!!
 
Solution
The W-PUMP is basically just another PWM header, and it's fine for the pump, then you can pop the fans into the other two. The push/pull is a good idea get's a little better airflow on the RAD ;)
