Hardware Installation
• Be sure to connect fan cables to the fan headers to prevent your CPU and system from overheat-
ing. Overheating may result in damage to the CPU or the system may hang.
• Thesefanheadersarenotcongurationjumperblocks.Donotplaceajumpercapontheheaders.

3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/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.

The fan/pump headers 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 dis-
sipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis. The headers also provide
speed control for water cooling pumps, refer to Chapter 2, "BIOS Setup," "M.I.T.," for more information.
