CPU_FAN and the pump cable to the SYS_FAN5_PUMP. Is this configuration correct? 

yes

Hi,

Where do I plug in my radiator fans which is connected using a y splitter, and my pump 3pin cable?

The silverstone manual only displays an image with the words "CPU_FAN" and "pump", so I am not sure which ports I should connect them to. I currently have the y splitter connected to the CPU_FAN and the pump cable to the SYS_FAN5_PUMP. Is this configuration correct? 

Thanks

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Just FYI that board has 8 fan connectors, you might not even need the Y-cable. ;)

(The fan connectors that say pump next to it can handle more power.)

When i ask for more specs, don't expect me to know the answer!

Oh okay. Is it more efficient to have seperate fan connectors or is the difference neglegible?

Neglegible, only thing you really gain is per fan speed setting and RPM readout if any. ;)
