Ok so I just finished building my PC (no os yet)

Here's the issue motherboard only has 1 CPU fan header, case has a pwm fan controller that says to plug into the CPU fan header, so I did that. 

 

CPU cooler(I believe it is the "fan" inside the pump(IDK though)) says to plug in it on CPU fan header

 

Looked around and found the pump fan header plugged CPU cooler into that.  Did I do it right?

Well, first off. The cpu cooler should always be plugged into the cpu fan header. Hard to follow that wording lol

I would reverse that config. You would want to know if your cpu fan has gone bad. Plug the case fan controller into the pump fan header. And the cpu to the cpu.
