Deepcool Captain 360EX RGB White AIO

I'll admit that the installation instructions for this AIO are a bit confusing. The AIO installation instructions state that the AIO pump cable should be connected to the CPU_FAN header, but my Asus PRIME X570-PRO motherboard documentation states that it should be connected to the AIO_PUMP header.

Connect the pump to the pump header if you have one. If you don't, CPU header will suffice.

/\ this. and as the manual suggest, you have a pump header. connect the pump to it and one of the fans to the cpu fan header. the other fans can just be connected to a case fan

The cooler or motherboard should come with a fan splitter that will take two fans and shove them onto one header.

Correct. The AIO did come with a fan hub, to which I connected the three radiator fans and the pump fan, then to an RGB header on the board. My issue is that there was no labeling to differentiate between the cables attached to the block. But, a simple power test to make sure everything works as intended should solve that.

That's my mistake. It appears that the water block has a single cable that powers both the pump and the fan. The other cable is for the block's LED.

The motherboard may have different instructions because it probably just runs the pump RPM at maximum speed. 

 

Don't plug the water block/pump into the fan hub with your radiator fans. If you do, you won't be able to control the RPM for them separately from the fans. 

 

If you haven't got it all setup here's a video.
