Yeah, if others don't have the same issue as you, a fix is unlikely as it requires replication.

Hey Raja, you helped me dial-in my Z87-PRO several years ago. Unfortunately I had to upgrade RAM a few months ago for a big project (I do lots of engineering FEA work) and that seems to have destabilized the system no matter what I tried to fix it. So I decided it's the perfect excuse for a hardware refresh!
So I just ordered a Maximus IX Hero to run a i7-7700K. Along with this I ordered a Corsair H115i water cooler and am wondering if that was a good choice.
Is there any way to drive the H115i "PWM" pump via the BIOS? Not just the fans, they're the easy part. I'd like to eliminate Corsair's FanLink software while still throttling the pump (& fans) way down when the CPU is idle. I have a similar setup rigged on my Z87 and it works great. However, I'd like to avoid jury-rigging if it's avoidable.
Should I just return the H115i unopened and get something else? If so, looking around for alternatives it seems the other '240mm' closed loop systems have similar weird USB+proprietary fan control setups. Can you or anyone recommend a 240mm closed-loop cooler that's compatible with ASUS BIOS fan control?
It seems I have four options:
1. Just live with FanLink + BIOS (I usually don't run AiSuite 7/24). Yuck...
2. Return the H115i unopened & find another 280mm closed-loop cooler that's compatible with ASUS fan/pump control. Meh...
3. Rig up a new harness (basically splits CPU_FAN to pump+2fans, grabs power from SATA & sends 3 fan monitor signals back to mobo). Ehh...
4. (big ask) ASUS could add USB fan control to the BIOS. Don't know ASUS's relationship with vendors like Corsair & weather the USB API to their pumps is proprietary or not but wouldn't that be great? Hmm!
What do you (& the ROG community of course) think?

You can control the pump via UEFI. Although, with AIO pumps, they are usually best run at max speed as they tend to "whir" more at lower speeds.
