On my motherboard I have three options to plug in the fans. W_Pump, CPU_OPT, CPU_Fan. I have the cooler connected to the CPU_Fan. Should I plug the two fans into CPU_Fan,CPU_OPT and have the one cable coming from the cooler into the W_Pump connector?

I don't use AI Suite. OS Build 15063.726. Version 1703. I tried running different fixed %. 25%, 30%, 40% and the problem still happens. It happens with the Quiet and Balanced profiles, but not with the Performance profile. The RPM is pretty much flat with all those settings, but as soon as I start a CPU intensive game or a CPU stress test it goes crazy.

Fan speed is grouped with H110iGTX Temp. There is no way to choose any other Group. It has been mentioned here in the forums that Corsair Link doesn't give all options when used with the H110iGTX and some other coolers.

A have owned this cooler since 2015. Every component on my computer with the exception of the video card is exactly the same since day one. The video card was upgraded in August. Since last week I noticed that the Fan RPM in the cooler starts spooling up and down during any gameplay or during any application that uses a lot of CPU power. It sounds like a engine being accelerated and decelerated. It is more obvious if the profile is QUIET, but it happens with all three profiles(Quiet, Balanced, Performance). Again, this only happens when I am playing games or running a CPU stress test application. It doesn't happen during idle or during internet surfing. No other fan in the computer is making this changes in RPM. The graph in Corsair LINK shows only the H110iGTX Fan RPM jumping up and down. Things I have tried: 1. Removing and re-installing Corsair LINK didn't help. Yes, I am using the latest version 4.9.2.27. Under Options->Devices it shows that the Firmware is 2.4.0.0 and there is no option to check if there is an update for that as far as I know. 2. If I completely close Corsair LINK then the problem doesn't happen. I can play any game or run any CPU stress test application without any issues. I would really appreciate some help with this.
