• 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.
3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/SYS_FAN2/SYS_FAN3 (Fan Headers)
All fan headers on this motherboard are 4-pin. 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. For
optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

For how to turn on/off the lights of the LED strip, please navigate to the "Unique Features" page
of GIGABYTE's website.
Connect your addressable RGB Gen2 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 of the addressable LED strip header. Incorrect connection may lead
to the damage of the LED strip.
• To avoid abnormal LED behavior, do not connect addressable RGB Gen1 LED strips and
addressable RGB Gen2 LED strips to the same header at the same time.
• Before installing or removing the devices, be sure to turn off the devices and your computer.
Unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the devices.
