As far as I am aware, it does its own thing, there is no control.

Is the pump powered by the motherboard? If so, make sure the fan header is set to run full speed. The pump might be undervoltage and failing to power the LED module.

the manual says to put it into cpufan1 which i did and cpufan2 is for the hub+ fans for the radiator. i did that and it still doesnt light up :/

Sounds like it's running off the CPU temp, at boot up it initially gives it full power then after 15 seconds reduces the voltage (which kills the lights) as the temp isn't high.....

 

I'm pretty sure my Cooler Master Nepton 240M manual said to avoid installing in CPU-fan headers because of voltage issues like it sounds you are having...

 

Either go into BIOS and set CPU-fan1 to run at 100% (full speed) or plug it into one of the chassis/case fan headers and set it to 100% (full speed), if you don't have any more fan headers plug it into your PSU avoiding the motherboard all together....
