7. CPU, chassis, power and optional fan connectors

(4-pin CPU_FAN, 3-pin CHA_FAN1-3, 3-pin PWR_FAN, 3-pin OPT_FAN1–3)
The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA ~ 2000 mA (24 W max.)

or a total of 1 A ~ 7 A (84 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.

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!

• Only the CPU_FAN, CHA_FAN1–3, and OPT_FAN1–3 connectors support

the ASUS Fan Xpert feature.

• If you install two VGA cards, we recommend that you plug the chassis

fan cable to the motherboard connector labled OPT_FAN1/2/3 for better

thermal environment.
