•
Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from
overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.
•
These fan headers are not configuration jumper blocks. Do not place a jumper cap on the
headers.
3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN (Fan Headers)
The motherboard has a 4-pin CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) and a 4-pin system fan header
(SYS_FAN). Each fan header supplies a +12V power voltage and possesses a foolproof insertion
design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation. Most fans are
designed with color-coded power connector wires. A red power connector wire indicates a
positive connection and requires a +12V voltage. The black connector wire is the ground wire. The
motherboard supports CPU fan speed control, which requires the use of a CPU fan with fan speed
control design. For optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed
inside the chassis.
