8.CPU, chassis, and power connectors(4-pin CPU_FAN, 3-pin CHA_FAN1~4, 3-pin PWR_FAN)

The fan connectors support cooling fans of 1A~2.2A (26.4 W max.) at +12V. Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, making sure that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.

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!

• Only the CHA_FAN1 connector supports the ASUS Q-FAN 2 feature.

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