The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA ~ 2000 mA (24 W
max.) or a total of 1 A ~ 3.48 A (41.76 W max.) at +12V. Connect the
fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, making sure that
the black wire of each cable matches the ground pin of the connector.

Only the CPU_FAN and CHA_FAN1 connectors support the
ASUS Q-Fan 2 feature.

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!

•

Install an additional chassis fan when you are using two PCI Express
graphics cards for better thermal environment.

•

For some chassis models with short 3-pin chassis fan cable, connect
the cable to the NB_FAN connector.
