Reason: I'm still testing it, but the fans of ZNXT at the CPU water cooling are a bit louder than those of be quet! (means in this case --> not silent).
Update (23.03.2020): I decided to go for the "high speed" version and ordered two pieces. Fans are now on their way

I currently have IGPU turned off because of the change to iMacPro1.1.
I have connected my SSDs as follows:
Maybe you should exchange it!? (Unfortunately, I lack the technical knowledge here) But the M2M sits exactly under the graphics card and is therefore also a bit warmer than the SSD at the M2P connection.
Here is the statistic of the last days (watch out for the temperatures!):
But I think that both are in the acceptable range.

But I think that both are in the acceptable range.
The connections were chosen by me so that I can control all fans and the pump via the BIOS or set the fan curve there myself. (The NZXT pump cannot be adjusted in the BIOS and runs apparently in automatic mode)
I unplugged all three cable extensions from the smart device and used them to connect the fans to the mainboard. On my smart device only the LED input is occupied. (And of course USB and SATA)
- I connected the pump to the SYS_FAN3_PUMP.
- The two fans on the radiator are connected to the CPU_FAN.
- Front fan (2x) and the rear fan (1x) are connected to the SYS_FAN2.
- The USB2.0 cable from the head of the NZXT X63 is connected to the NZXT USB hub.

Updated to Catalina 10.15.4: mini Guide from CaseySJ
Mini-Guide: Configure Carbon Copy Cloner for One-Key Bootable Backup
Windows 10 installation (Can be selected and started from the Clover boot menu. See EFI_with_WIN10)
- To create the USB BOOT stick, I downloaded and installed Parallels Desktop 15 (trial version) After that I created the USB stick under Windows environment with the help of Rufus.
- I did not unplug the macOS M2 SSD for Windows 10 installation from the mainboard, it was active all the time.
- After a reboot I selected the EFI of the USB BOOT stick as boot source with F12 and started it.
- During the installation I formatted my second M2 SSD (ATTENTION: Please be very careful here, do not select the macOS SSD, otherwise all data and also the operating system are gone!)
- During the installation the PC is rebooted, here you have to press F12 again and the EFI of Windows-Manager...partition (no matter on which SSD it is located. With me it is on the macOS SSD)
- After the installation the settings in the BIOS should be corrected again. Here the EFI BOOT of macOS should be put first.
- Now in the Clover boot menu should also appear Windows and EFI Windows (icons).
- Windows: starts EFI Windows
- macOS: starts from Catalina
Monitor and Control NZXT Kraken All-in-One Coolers:
- At the moment I have set all LEDs over Windows 10. As long as the hackintosh is not disconnected from the power supply, the settings will be kept, i.e. the settings will remain even after a restart with macOS.

- - - - ISSUE - - - -
RX 5700XT does not reach the maximum resolution (5120 x 2160) with the LG 5K monitor (connected via displayport 1.4) The maximum payable resolution is 3840 x 2160, but it looks somewhat distorted. At the moment I have
set the resolution to 3440 x 1440. With SwitchResX I can set the resolution to 5120x2160, but without scaling. In
SwitchResX I see that generally only resolutions with 16:9 format are scalable. I chose iMac19.1 when I installed it,
maybe that's why!?
It worked wonderfully with SwitchResX. Now it looks just like connecting my MackBook Pro to the monitor via USB-C. Here are the screenshots from the current state:
Hier is the thread where you can finde some information about the correct settings:
Anyone got the LG 34" 34WK95U Monitor Working on Hackintosh?
Very interested in this monitor. I prefer Ultrawide to Retina, and this seems like the first solution that gives both. Curious to know of issues though since it looks finicky as all hell to get working at max res (2018 MacBook Pros can't do it because of Mojave bugs, etc.)
www.tonymacx86.com
Update from April-06-2020: after the update to Catalina 10.15.4 everything is automatically detected by the system I do not need the SwitchResX program anymore.
I didn’t test it with iMac19,1, but with actually settings (iMacPro1,1) it doesn't working. After turn on i get only black screen on my iPadPro 12.9.
- I using "duet display“ app v2.3.1.0 and it works very well. Reason for need iPad as Display -> i get Touch Bar on this and i like this.
