Installing the optional fan

Install the optional fan only if you are using a passive cooler or a water cooler. Installing

the optional fan with an active CPU cooler will interfere with the airflow and destabilize the

system.

1. Position the fan above the pipe and

heatsink assembly.

2. Fit the fan to the grooved edge of the

heatsink.

3. Carefully push down the fan until it

snugly fits the heatsink, then connect

the fan cable.

4. The photo shows the fan installed on

the motherboard.

Plug the optional fan cables to the CHA_FAN2 connector on the motherboard.

Ensure the optional fan is installed correctly to prevent damage to the fan and

motherboard components.
