• Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from
overheating. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.
• These fan headers are not conguration jumper blocks. Do not place a jumper cap on the headers.
6) CPU_OPT (CPU Fan/Water Cooling Pump Header)
The fan/pump header is 4-pin and possesses a foolproof insertion design. Most fan headers possess a
foolproof insertion design. When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation
(the black connector wire is the ground wire). The speed control function requires the use of a fan with fan
speed control design.

7) CPU_LED (CPU Cooler LED Strip/RGB LED Strip Header)
The header can be used to connect a CPU cooler LED strip or a standard 5050 RGB LED strip (12V/G/R/B),
with maximum power rating of 2A (12V) and maximum length of 2m.

Connect the CPU cooler LED strip/RGB LED strip to the header. The power
pin (marked with a triangle on the plug) of the LED strip must be connected
to Pin 1 (12V) of this header. Incorrect connection may lead to the damage
of the LED strip.
