7)CPU Fan and Chassis Fan Connectors (CPU1_FAN, CPU2_FAN, CHA_FAN)
The three fan connectors support cooling fans of 350mA (4.2 Watts) or less. Orient the fans such that it blows air across the onboard heat sinks instead of the expansion slots. The fan wiring and plug may vary depending on the fan manufacturer. Connect the fan cable to the connector making sure that the black wire matches the ground pin. (NOTE: The “Rotation” signal should be used accordingly for a specially designed fan with a rotation signal. You can monitor the Rotations Per Minute (RPM) using ASUS PC Probe (see 6. SOFTWARE REFERENCE).
WARNING! Make sure to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Lack of sufficient airflow within the system could cause damage to the motherboard.
These are not jumpers, do not place jumper caps over these connectors!
