5 . CPU, chassis, power, and chipset fan connectors (3-pin CPU_FAN, 3-pin CHA1_FAN, 3-pin CHA2_FAN, 3-pin PWR_FAN, 3-pin CHIP_FAN))

These fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA ~ 2000 mA (24 W max.) or a total of 1 A ~ 3.48 A (41.76 W max.) at +12 V. Connect the fan cable to the fan connector on the motherboard, making sure that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.

The chipset fan connector is for the NVIDIA® nForce™4 SLI chipset. Connect the fan cable to the fan connector on the motherboard.

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.
