What if Your Motherboard Doesn’t Have an AIO Pump Fan Header? You can plug in your Pump (if it comes with a separate 3-Pin connector) to this Header to control it separately from the radiator’s fans or set it to a fixed 50% to 100% PWM speed. This is why there is an AIO_PUMP or PUMP_HEADER on many Motherboards. The Pump, though, will be less prone to wear and tear if it runs at a static speed.
Here’s what Corsair’s H150i Manual says about connecting your AIO:īecause the entire AIO is plugged into the CPU_FAN Header, this also means that both the Pump and Radiator Fans are temperature controlled.

So you must ensure that your pump is mounted properly, thermal-paste and all, working well and that it’s not making any weird noises. If your pump is on the fritz, your cooling performance will go down significantly, to the point where the boxed air cooler you get with your CPU would do a better job of cooling it. This is especially true for a closed-loop system. When it comes to any liquid cooling setup, the pump is the heart of the system. The pump is responsible for moving the liquid through the radiator and tubing. On most AIO liquid coolers, the pump is the part you place right on top of the CPU. It’s plug-and-play and can be installed more easily than custom liquid cooling. Well, AIO stands for “ All In One,” and in PC cooling describes a liquid Cooler that is ready to be used without the need for custom tubing or liquid setup. Well, let’s get some short questions out of the way real quick so we’re on the same page before diving into the main topic of this Article: How to connect your AIO properly! What does AIO stand for?
