connector to avail of the motherboard’s high-definition audio capability.

• 

If you want to connect a high-definition front panel audio module to this connector, set 

the 

Front Panel Type

 item in the BIOS setup to 

[HD Audio]; 

if you want to connect an 

AC'97 front panel audio module to this connector, set the item to 

[AC97]

. By default, this 

connector is set to 

[HD Audio]

CPU fan connector (4-pin CPU_FAN)

The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA ~ 2000 mA (24 W max.) or a total 

of 1 A ~ 7 A (84 W max.) at +12V. Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the 

motherboard, ensuring that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the 

connector.

Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air flow inside the 

system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! Do not place 

jumper caps on the fan connectors!

Only the CPU_FAN 

connector support the ASUS 

Advanced Q-Fan feature.
