connecting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the 
positive and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and 
should be connected to GND.  If the mainboard has a System Hardware 
Monitor chipset onboard, you must use a specially designed fan with speed 
sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control. 
 

 

 

Important 

Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor’s official website or 
consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
