Kraken G12- how to connect fan and control temps with H55 AIO on MSI 1080 GPU

Gs11

Hello

I'm planning to buy Kraken G12 and Corsair H55 to cool MSI GTX 1080 Ti. I want to replace stock fan from NZXT and buy Noctua 92mm or Arctic F9 92mm. I have some questions about how could it be connected:

  1. Noctua 92mm or Arctic F9 92mm are in 2 versions 3-pin/4 pin. Default fan on G12 is 3 pin. What are avaiable choices to connect this fan? Can I connect fan from G12 to default fan pin header on GPU like stock MSI cooler and control that fan via i.e. Msi Afterburner? Or should I connect G12 fan to liquid cooler's fan power to H55?( does H55 have something like liquid cooler's fan power,see G12 user guide,connecting fan- or it needs PST fan with right connectors/switches cable) .

  2. Should I buy only 3 pin Noctua/Artcic F9, 4 pin will not be compatible to connect to GPU?

  3. Simplify: how can I connect G12 fan?

  • to GPU-using Afterburner to control temp and fan RPM;

  • to motherboard-control by BIOS;

  • make somehow G12 fan intergration with H55- control via BIOS or some app in windows

4.What is the best way to control temp. on GPU with combination Kraken G12 fan+ H55 AIO?

5. Whats is the difference between PWM and PWM PST fans?

6. Where to connect H55 pump connector if I want to monitor GPU temp, not CPU?
