CPU Blower and Tube

To maintain the ideal temperature for the CPUs, the chassis includes a 9-cm CPU blower. The blower has an extended tube directed to the two CPUs. The blower cable connects to the CPU_FAN2 connector on the motherboard.

Three screws (indicated by white circles) secure the CPU blower to the base of the chassis. The blower tube extends to the CPU area on the motherboard and is secured by two screws as indicated in the picture by solid white circles. These two screws have spacers underneath to allow clearance from the motherboard components.
