Chapter 1
•
The CPU_FAN connector supports the CPU fan of maximum 1A (12 W) fan power.
•
The CPU_FAN, CHA_FAN, and EXT_FAN connectors support the ASUS FAN Xpert 3
feature on X99 platform.
•
W_PUMP function support depends on water cooling device. When using a water
cooling device, connect the device’s fan connector(s) to the motherboard’s CPU_FAN
connector, and the water pump connector to the W_PUMP connector.
•
The EXT_FAN connector supports 3 of 10 thermal sensor sources.
•
All fan connectors detect the type of fan installed and automatically switches the
control modes. To configure the fan’s control mode, go to
Advanced Mode > Monitor
> CPU Q-Fan Control
item in BIOS.
•
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.
•
The chassis fan connectors support DC and PWM modes. To set these fans to DC or
PWM, go to
Advanced Mode > Monitor > Chassis Fan 1/2 Q-Fan Control
items in
BIOS.
The FAN EXTENSION CARD is purchased separately.
•
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 that the CPU fan cable is securely installed to the CPU fan connector.
