7. Fan and Pump connectors The Fan and Pump connectors allow you to connect fans or pumps to cool the system. Chapter 1 • DO NOT forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air flow inside the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not jumpers! Do not place jumper caps on the fan connectors! • Ensure the cable is fully inserted into the connector. • For water cooling kits, connect the pump to the W_PUMP+ connector, and connect the fans to the CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT connectors. • For All-In-One coolers, connect the pump to the AIO_PUMP connector, and connect the fans to the CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT connectors. • For better Q-Fan functions, we recommend using 4-pin PWM fans when you connect powerful fans (1A or above) onto the H_AMP_FAN connector. • Ensure to disable Q-Fan functions if you want to connect powerful 3-pin DC fans (1A or above) onto the H_AMP_FAN connector.

7.
Fan and Pump connectors
The Fan and Pump connectors allow you to connect fans or pumps to cool the
system.
DO NOT forget to connect the fan cables to the fan connectors. Insufficient air
flow inside the system may damage the motherboard components. These are not
jumpers! Do not place jumper caps on the fan connectors!
Ensure the cable is fully inserted into the connector.
For water cooling kits, connect the pump to the W_PUMP+ connector, and connect
the fans to the CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT connectors.
For All‑In‑One coolers, connect the pump to the AIO_PUMP connector, and connect
the fans to the CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT connectors.
For better Q‑Fan functions, we recommend using 4‑pin PWM fans when you connect
powerful fans (1A or above) onto the H_AMP_FAN connector.
Ensure to disable Q‑Fan functions if you want to connect powerful 3‑pin DC fans (1A
or above) onto the H_AMP_FAN connector.
