4.CPU, System, and PCI fan connectors (3-pin CPU_FAN, SYSTEM_FAN, PCI_FAN)

The fan connectors support a CPU fan, a system fan, and PCI fan at +12V. Orient the fans properly to allow air flow to go 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 matching the black wire to the ground pin.

Do not forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Lack of sufficient air flow within the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! DO NOT place jumper caps on the fan connectors!
