That depend on the size of the loop, but 3 or 4 should be good.

for both CPU and VGA?

4 runs about the same speed as the cheap non-variable version.  I'd start there, and test each setting until I find which one works best for the loop you're running.  I'm betting 3 or 4 will be where you end up running.

I leave mine on the lowest setting with a CPU, GPU loop with two rads, the speed doesn't make a huge difference in temps usually maybe a few degrees during load but not very much at all.

The 3 or 4 pin blue line that comes off the pump is the RPM line if you plug it into the CPU header it will give a warning if the RPM dips too low or if the pump was to sudden fail, systems will shutdown also if temps get too high.

The main thing that will happen is on boot up if it doesn't turn on with the PC it will give you an error, most motherboards have fan control softwares that you can install and it will give you a warning by a pop up usually. The system itself if you were to not notice for example will automatically shut it self down if it gets too hot before any damage occurs.
