Fan Connections

There are three fan connections on the motherboard. The fan speed can be

detected and viewed in the PC Health Status section of the CMOS Setup. The

fans are automatically turned off after the system enters S3, S4 and S5mode.

Note: The CPU fan cable can be either a 3-pin or a 4-pin

connector. Connect a 3-pin connector to pins 1, 2, and 3 on the

motherboard connector.
