Absolutely sure. The instructions in every Corsair AIO I have owned are very clear to use the CPU_FAN header for the pump connection, it's a PC safety/protection issue. I would assume most other AIO manufacturers do also. I've been connecting the AIO pump there without issue for years, they aren't high amp. That 'w.pump' header is designed for separate hand made water cooling systems/loops.

Obviously you havent come to the cross roads where the Motherboard AIO instructions tells you one thing and then the AIO manufacturer tells you another way of setting it up.
I am still tryna work out if AI suite 3 fan control is clashing with iCUE and ontop of that is using AI suite better for my video card OC and for control or is the actual ASUStweak 2 software better which comes with the card... ahhh the fun and joy of it all

I recommend not using software to control your AIO, the following settings have worked for me without added software
Connect the pump power to to a SATA power connector, connect the pump control to the AIO header and let it run at 100% (the pump on 100% is very quit).
Connect the 2 radiator fans to CPU and CPU_opt fan headers on motherboard.
Control the fans in the bios, set to turbo if overclocking the CPU, silent for a more quit system, or standard

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your advises. For someone new in PC building this is a real help.
I will try Menthol's suggestion and I'll let you know how it worked for me.

Yes, the AIO has a splitter but to be honest I haven't tried if I could control the fans from the BIOS by having them plugged in the splitter... I guess I could, so I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the input.
