It would be best to have it on the CPU header, that way you get a warning for the system if the pump was the fail or stop.

I have the gigabyte z370p d3 and it has one cpu_fan and it is used for the cpu fan. Then my pump is plugged into sys fan what would u recommend I should do???

I would put the AIO pump on the CPU header and the fan for the rad on a system header to control the speed.

If you want to control the speed of the fan and such you can do so in the bios, just be sure the header is configure accordingly 3 pin dc voltage control and 4 pin PWM.

wait my cpu fan on rad and my pump is both 3 pin. So should both be controled as dc voltage???

Im new to all this thats why, but all my case fans are 3 pins and so is my cpu fan on rad and so is my cpu pump

I don't want to adjust anything, all I am wondering is if I switch the cpu pump to cpu_fan header and switch the cpu fan on rad to sys fan header. Will I need to make changes in bios or can I just leave everything as is

Yes if they are 3 pin they need to be DC voltage controlled. However pumps like these on the AIO should be run at the full 12V unless specified since if it's put too low it can stall.

Okay just did the switch of water pump to cpu_fan header and cpu fan on rad to SYS FAN1 header. In bios all my fans are running on  fan speed normal even cpu fan with temperature interval @ 1 with cpu fan control mode @ auto. Are these settings fine for my pump and case fans??????????????????????

Should I change the cpu _fan speed to full speed instead of normal btw????? cause right now it is running at normal with temperature interval @ 1???

If the CPU is on auto for control that will be fine but it will vary depending on the load, that should be set to a constant 12V as for the case fan that is up to you depending on the amount of cooling and noise that you feel comfortable with.

ok but what should I set the speed to normal, silent, fullspeed????? and I can set the control mode to voltage but it doesnt gimme a option to set the volts for the header cpu_fan

For the pump set it for full speed so it get 12V, you can see if your pump is able to be configured with lower voltages, modes in this case, but be sure that it doesn't stall or has difficulty starting.

Okay and what should the temperature interval be for my cpu_fan(pump) and my case fans???

If it's for the pump it would just be 12V constant nothing else, for a fan curve it would be constantly be maxed out.

Im a newbie but the temperature interval can be set from 1-3 Idek what that settings suppose to mean but it is in the smart fan 5 settings in gigabyte bios. So idk what it should be set to. I just saw a vid. So to get 12v I just set speed to full speed. But I am tryna find out what the hell temperature interval is and what it should be set to

Full speed give 12V the temp interval is the basic control gigbyte gives without using a fan curve. 

 

It explains it here, it will work similar for your board also.
