Got a x670e gaming wifi and im using an arctic freezer III 360, contemplating of replacing the fans with some more high powered version maybe phantekts t30.

Power consumption would increase drastically, the p12 supplied with the aio draws 0.1A while the T30 can pull up to 0.41A, if im reading this right the water pump tops out at 0.35A and the vrm fan 0.05A

If my math is mathing then total power consumption would top out at 20W, i am currently using the all in one connector so pump & fans connects to the cpu fan header.
Lets say i replace the arctic fans with more powerfull t30, still safe to use the all in one connector? or should i change cable so pump, vrm and fans are connected to separate fan headers?

On your board, the fan headers are pretty beefy:

So theoretically you could keep using the Y-cable or what you have, to have the fans on one plug. Personally, I like to see what all fans are doing individually, so I always put them on individual headers.

Do you need to run it in 3000rpm mode? Thats too noisy. If you are ok with 2000 or even 1200 you can switch profile on back of fan housing:

I used T30 before but that short interconnect is too short and it eventually break on few fans so i switched to D30 which looks better and are easier to handle and set them to constant 1200rpm anyway. Enough to cool my custom loop and its silent.

Where you see an issue, i see a feature.

The fan's are pwm controlled through the motherboard using a 4 point temperature curve and the lowest speed the fan's are capable off is 300rpm, the rpm is about 920-1000rpm* when i use windows and cpu load is on the lower end, when gaming the fan's will speed up a little but not much.
I have never seen the cpu temperature go above 70 celsius, should the temperature hit 80 celsius then the fan's will go full tilt and give me an auditiv warning that something is very wrong and provide maximum airflow until i can shut the computer off.

As for hybrid mode it will not be used, the fan's not only cools the cpu but also makes up a big part of the airflow through the chassi, when the pwm signal is below 50% rpm is 0.

*currently 26 celsius in my room will be even hotter tomorrow, most of the year the temperature is 19-22 celsius so the fans will soon turn even slower.
