D5 Pump Power Question

I am currently working on a new build and I was wondering if anyone has some insight on this D5 pump power question.

I’ll be using the EK D5 G3 PWM with a max power of 30W. I am going to use my old Aquacomputer QUADRO to run the fans/pump. In my old build I was using an EK DDC 3.2 with a max power of 18W. I had changed the DDC plug to a 4-pin fan connector as to power/control it and the fans though the QUADRO.

For cable management, I would like to do the same thing with the 30W D5. However, the QUADRO specs show a 25W max for each connector. Would it be safe to plug the D5 into the QUADRO or should I keep the D5 power SATA and the 4pin PWM connector?

Would the QUADRO limit the pump channel power to 25W or would the pump pull up to 30W and melt the connector?

Edit 1 - The pump back says 30W max, but the website says 23W power consumption. Seems like it would be ok to run off the QUADRO.

Cheers!
