I have a corsair h60 liquid cpu cooler currently the pump is hooked up to the cpu fan header on the motherboard and the radiator fan is hooked up to one of the motherboard fan headers. should I leave the pump hooked up to where its at now and hook the radiator fan up to the cpu fan header 2? or leave it the way it is now? my motherboard is a asus maximus 8 hero. also I set the cpu fan header in the bios to 100% and set to dc mode. or should I hook the pump up to the water pump connector on the motherboard? and the fan to the cpu fan header?

Fan should go onto the CPU header, so that it varies with CPU temps.
The pump should go on a SYS fan header so it runs at 100%. Since your motherboard has a dedicated pump header, just use that.

well the only thing I'm wondering is if the pump is not hooked up to cpu fan header 1 then if the pump fails the motherboard wont know it.

The motherboard should register the pump speeds regardless of the header.
Even if the pump does fail, you dont really need to worry about it that much. Its rare, and you will definitely have some gradual tell tale signs it happened. Additionally, your processor can handle itself in the event this happens.

I personally think having automatic fan control is more important than the potential warning.

ok so I should hook up the pump to the aio header, and the radiator fan up to the cpu fan header 1?
