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!

Ensure that the CPU fan is securely installed to the CPU fan connector.

• The CPU_FAN connector supports the CPU fan of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power.

If you install two VGA cards, we recommend that you plug the rear chassis fan cable to the motherboard connector labeled CHA_FAN1, CHA_FAN2, or CHA_FAN3 for better thermal environment.

The CPU_FAN connector and CHA_FAN connectors support the ASUS FAN Xpert 2 feature.

The CPU fan connector has a special latch that detects the installed CPU fan type and automatically changes the fan control mode (DC mode and PWM mode) for the most precise fan control function.
