The H100i GTX only uses one motherboard fan header for the pump and the fans.

  • 2-in-1 fan splitter is for the two radiator fans, and is wired into the pump assembly.
  • A single 3-pin connection comes out of the pump assembly.

You only need a total of three fan headers for your H100i GTX, and two case fans.

The pump and fans are controlled by software, Corsair LINK, via USB header.

I don't think so because the two fans get attached to the Main cable which only uses one CPU fan header and also powers the pump and then there will be enough headers for the case fan.
