Sounds like you have it all sorted. Temps are good while gaming, the fan header is operating as it should.
Are you controlling the case fans within the UEFI or Link?

Pump is on performance at all times, I had the fans on balanced and when things started to get hot there was this whirring sound, I managed to make the whirring a little more tolerable by setting the profile at Quiet...it must just be that I got some noisy fans with my H100i v2. Lucky me :( haha and after playing some games and such I can probably tell about a 4 to 6 degrees difference from the 120mm cooler, I'm not sure if things just had to get warmed up or what. Overall I'm happy with the cooler, except for the noise...it is a bit noises than the 120 mm cooler. I do think I should be getting better temps though, or is 55-65 degrees Celsius what I should be expecting out of it, I still have the pump hooked to the OPT fan header.

Which link profile are you using? Balanced with pump at performance, or silent with pump at performance should be good enough for general use,....depending on cpu temps.

First download link is the quick start guide.

I just realized I have the SATA power connector built in and you have the motherboard fan header connector :( You will need either get an sata or molex adapter to allow the pump to receive full voltage and amps. Or as the mods suggested your board should have a water cooler power function from the drop down fan menu for the fan header  the pump is connected to.

Item #6 in the quick start guide. It's hardwired to the pump, the three pin fan connector picks up rpm (you do not need to connect this connector as Link will read it) and the flat connector is an SATA power supply connector that should be connected directly to the power supply.

Also note that Corsair just released a new version of Link 4.6 which addresses low pump readings. What software are you using to detect the pump rpm?

03/20/2017 - Corsair Link Software Update Version v4.6.0.86

Changelog:
  • Full single-color Vengeance DRAM support (including synced pulse) for Z170/Z270
  • Full Vengeance RGB DRAM support for Z170/Z270
  • X99 support for both items above (Beta)
  • DRAM Timings shown in UI
  • DRAM Part number shown for UI
  • SP RGB Fan support for Lighting Node PRO
  • Addressed issue with H110i that may run pump at lower RPM until software startup
  • Kabylake CPU support

As for the pump, I'm not noticing much better temps than my previous 120mm cooler, something isn't right...


what's your ambient temp?

Some video cards have that issue :(

Plug your pump directly into an SATA/molex power supply connector and use Link to select the pump speed from quiet to performance.



People have been advising that I plug the pump there but I honestly have no idea what that is. Lol. Explanation? Ambient temp while gaming is about 90-100 degrees.
