FYI : Hydroshift II...uses CPU / PUMP headers...not aux pwr outputs...otherwise "0 RPM"

I had read the "desired" setup was on the CPU fan and CPU Opt (or SYS Pump) fan headers but in the effort to reduce board clutter, I went with a separate PCIe power line with SATA connectors and used the included SATA -> male fan header option.

Just know that even with the dedicated PCIe power from these SATA -> male fan headers, the Hydroshift LCD might not "kick" up to speed and will display "0 RPM" (not that it's just displaying it...the pump is def not working as CPU temps spike wildly).

Switching to the onboard CPU and PUMP headers fixed this problem for me.

Desired? No. Best option, yes.
