I was 'two weeks ago'-years-old when I realized that maybe setting my AIO pump to 100% instead of letting it be throttled up and down like a CPU fan might be a good idea. (I was installing it on a motherboard too old to have a "pump header;" it only understands CPU_FAN and SYS_FAN.)

Considering that my previous AIO worked just fine for seven years being treated like a fan -- and in fact would still be in use if not for it failing to fit in my new SFF case -- I'm still not actually sure the difference matters.
