I did mention before somewhere that running the daisy chained fan splitter going into the pump unit was a bad idea. Rad fans going into CPU_Fan header, pump going into CPU_OPT or the equivalent will be better. When your fan ramps, your pump impeller gets a temporary brownout and its RPMs fluctuate. On performance mode or max RPM you can hear occasional liquid gushing sounds because of this for some people. Together with dodgy 3rd party control utilities that may not respond real time as fast as BIOS settings, you may hurt the pump in the long run in such scenarios. Got some product manager in corsair forums mention before thes asetek pumps are not designed to run at variable RPM. When I was on an AIO, rad fans into CPU_Fan, pump into CPU_OPT no issues at all. I think these asetek AIOs are adapted to run in a more gamer friendly control UI and the use of daisy chaining over direct control, direct cable inputs have hurt the AIO reliability.
