Did you try to redo the tuning sequence?
Maybe it should be done in the bios too.
Btw do you see the ext fans in the bios?
There is also a fan in on that board.
Edit: this last one can be used to transform the card in a simple splitter. It doesn't indeed need to be connected if one use the 5 pins connector as you did.

Thanks for the reply buddy, much appreciated!
Yes, I tried the sequence. It asks you to do it when you open fan expert.
Reading on various posts, I found that there might be a chance that the fan/pump cable connected was not compatible, so I connected a Silent Wings 140 PWM fan I have to the same header and it recognized it...so the fan extension card does work but it still doesn't solved my problem 100%.
The problem is that I am looking for a fan header where I can connect my GPU pump cable (from a EVGA 1080ti FTW3 Hyrid) that will allow me to set a curve based on the GPU temp. The card is flashed with the ASUS Strix 1080ti vbios so I know it can be done - I have done it for the fan on the radiator.
The only thing I thought of was to move my AIO (Cooler Master ML 240) fan cable from the AIO_Pump header to the CPU_OPT header (the AIO's fan's are connected to the CPU_FAN header) and connect the GPU PUMP in it's place. I know that this header allows for such adjustments.
I don't mind not being able to control the Coolermaster's PUMP and allowing it to run at 100% as it is silent but I had to find a way to control the GPU's pump as it is extremely noisy. In a dead silent case, that buzzing noise was the only thing I could hear...extremely annoying when working next to it while it's idle.
It's OK now as I set it to 70% (see pic below).
My only question would be is how do you change the source for the AIO_Pump header in AI SUITE??
I want the curve to be based on the GPU temp, not on the CPU's (just like I have the radiator fan).

Also cpu opt is a mirror of CPU fan. Not sure you can control them separately under ai suite.
Why don't you use the fan header on your gpu? My 1060 strix has one. It would be the cleanest way (not sure how configurable it is though and gputweak is probably needed too)
