Fan Power Connectors: CFAN1/SFAN1

The CFAN1 (processor fan) and SFAN1 (system fan) support system

cooling fan with +12V. It supports three-pin head connector. When connect-

ing the wire to the connectors, always take 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.

Note:

1. Always consult the vendor for proper CPU cooling fan.

2. CPU Fan supports the fan control. You can install the PC Alert

utility that will automatically control the CPU Fan speed accord-

ing to the actual CPU temperature.
