Hardware Setup Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1, SYSFAN1~3 The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. W hen connecting the wire to the connectors, always note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V; the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.

Important
1. Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at processor
s official website
or consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
2. CPUFAN1 supports fan control. You can install
Overclocking Center
utility that will automatically control the these fan speed according to the
actual CPU and system temperature.
3. Fan/heatsink with 3 or 4 pins are both available for CPUFAN1.
4. SYSFAN1/2 support fan control, too. You may
select how percentage of
speed for the SYSFAN1/2 in BIOS.
