Alright fellas, I need some technical help. So I'm doing a custom loop in my sm570, and I chose to go with Alphacool's systems. Basically I have a GPU block/pump and a cpu block/pump in the same loop. Only problem is that my X570-I brilliantly only comes with two fan headers (one CPU fan and one SYS1 fan). This has been fine so far, but now I have two pumps that need to be powered, and the manual says not to connect them to one header via a Y-splitter because it could damage the system. I also have a Phanteks 8 fan controller (powered via the psu) that can use a mobo fan header as an input to control the fans. Do you think it's reasonable to have the cpu pump connected to the cpu header like it is now and then plugging the gpu pump into the fan controller along with the other 4 case fans?
The other option would be to plug the cpu pump into the cpu header, the gpu into the sys1 header, and then leave the fan controller as a standalone unit. It comes with a manual controller to set fan speed at silent (40%), balanced (70%), or performance (100%). I'd rather it all be automatic and me not have to worry about choosing a fan profile, but this build is a challenge and may come with some sacrifices. I understand that. Any other ideas (including other parts that would help) would be great.
