CPUFAN1~2,SYSFAN1~3: Fan Power Connectors

The fan power connectors support system cooling fans with +12V. If the motherboard

has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed

fan with a speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control. Remember to

connect all system fans. Some system fans may not connect to the motherboard and

will instead connect to the power supply directly. A system fan can be plugged into

any available system fan connector.

Important

•

Please refer to your processor’s ocial website or consult your vendor to nd

recommended CPU heatsink.

•

These connectors support Smart Fan Control with liner mode. The Command

Center utility can be installed to automatically control the fan speeds according to

the CPU’s and system’s temperature.

•

If there are not enough ports on the motherboard to connect all system fans,

adapters are available to connect a fan directly to a power supply.

•

Before rst boot up, ensure that there are no cables impeding any fan blades.
