A fan with a 4-pin connector as shown in Figure 12, A is recommended; however, a fan with a 3-pin connector (Figure 12, B) can be used. However, since the fan with a 3-pin connector cannot use the onboard fan control, the fan will always operate at full speed. Figure 12.

Connecting the Processor Fan Heat Sink Cable
Connect the processor fan heat sink cable to the 4-pin processor fan header (see
Figure 12).
A fan with a 4-pin connector as shown in Figure 12, A is recommended;
however, a fan with a 3-pin connector (Figure 12, B) can be used.
However, since the
fan with a 3-pin connector cannot use the onboard fan control, the fan will always
operate at full speed.
