I'm in the middle of my new build around the EVGA Z370 Classified K. I've got a Corsair Hydro H105 AIO that is tied to an i7 8700K proc.
 
There are six available fan headers on the Z370 K mobo labeled:
 
CPU1_FAN
CPU2_FAN
SYS_FAN
PWR_FAN
CHA_FAN
AUX_FAN
 
Is there any particular difference between all of them? They're all of the 4-pin type. I assume the answer is no.
 
For the AIO cooler, I've got the pump plugged into CPU1_FAN and the twin fans it supports plugged into CPU2_FAN by way of the supplied Y-cable. Is this the right setup? The Corsair manual states to plug the wires into "any available 3- or 4-pin fan header". I assume because the AIO is for cooling the CPU, I would use the two labeled CPU fan headers for this so it plays well with the BIOS.
 
And what is the PWR_FAN one for? Just another case fan header??
 
I understand SYS_FAN is for "system", CHA_FAN for "chassis" and AUX_FAN for "Auxiliary".
 
The manual makes mentions of the fan headers but doesn't really detail what each one does differently (if anything). Just curious, never dealt with this many fan headers on one mobo before - and I don't want to turn it on for the first time only to see sparks and smoke : /
 
Thanks!

    They are all the same. Don't run both the rad fans off of one header if the fans combined use more than one amp.
