You know theres a water cooling forum?
I would plug the pump into the CPU header and disable all fan speed control, then plug the fan into another motherboard header usually system fan header, chassis header.

Forgive me if i'm mistaken, but I believe that it has a silent mode?
Maybe a fan controller? There is software available to control the speed of the fans on the mobo headers.
Also, standard Clee response:
The self enclosed coolers are poor value for money and don't offer silence. High end air coolers perform quieter and cooler and are same price/cheaper
this rivals the much better h100 running passively as shown HERE
EDIT:
They aren't watercooling!
Had a quick look, seems you do have two CPU fan headers like a equivalent ASrock board.
Fan expert is a windows based utility right? I would still go into the BIOS and change the CPU fan options in the monitor menu just in case

Get back in your hole.
Maybe I will.
I know the antec 920 does... don't dismiss the air cooler i linked to as it is silent when passive!
I'm not sure, but if you don't have the fan on, then I don't think it would. Also, it uses 120mm fans so it's less of a problem than the other air coolers.
I'll see if I can find anything
Id personally plug the pump into the PWR fan header, this fan header will run the pump at its full speed. The PWR fan header on asus boards doesnt feature speed control. Then plug the fan into the cpu fan header. This way you can keep fan control enabled.
This is exactly what I thought, but stulid said to disable all just in case. Hmmmmmm
EDIT* all my pwr headers are 3 pin and I think the pump is a 4 min.

I wouldnt do it, your RAM is too tall for most things.
If you run that cooler passive then you need to ensure you have some stellar airflow in the case and it may affect your maximum OC.
Even if you just had the center fan or including the fan on the rear of the cooler closer to the rear of the case then whats to say it wont cause fitment issues with the Blue VRM heatsink on that board which also look tall and have lots of sturcture.

Yeah, I think the H60 would be the best
Unless... you willing to have some fun?

Also, Stu, you checked for a hotlink, didn't you?
Youll be fine with fan control enabled and the pump connected to the PWR header. The pump needs a constant voltage supply, hence the PWR header is ideal for this. Sure you could use any header and disable speed control in bios. But say you mistakenly change fan control settings, it's not ideal for the h60 pump. Therefore by using the PWR header, you never have to worry about this.
