CPU, CPU optional, high amp, extension, and chassis fan connectors; water pump+, and AIO pump connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN; 4-pin CPU_OPT; 4-pin H_ AMP; 5-pin EXT_FAN; 4-pin W_PUMP+; 4-pin AIO_PUMP; 4-pin CHA_FAN1-3) Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring that the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector. 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 to fully insert the 4-pin CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector. • 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. • Connect the pump cable from the all-in-one cooler (AIO cooler) to the AIO_PUMP header, and connect the fan cables to the CPU_FAN and/or CPU_OPT header(s). • W_PUMP+ function support depends on water cooling device.

Chapter 1
6.
CPU, CPU optional, high amp, extension, and chassis fan connectors; water
pump+, and AIO pump connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN; 4-pin CPU_OPT; 4-pin H_
AMP; 5-pin EXT_FAN; 4-pin W_PUMP+; 4-pin AIO_PUMP; 4-pin CHA_FAN1-3)
Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring that the
black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.
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 to fully insert the 4-pin CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector.
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.
Connect the pump cable from the all-in-one cooler (AIO cooler) to the AIO_PUMP
header, and connect the fan cables to the CPU_FAN and/or CPU_OPT header(s).
W_PUMP+ function support depends on water cooling device.
