Chapter 2: Hardware information

6. CPU, chassis, and optional fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN, 3-pin

CHA_FAN1~2, 3-pin PWR_FAN)
The fan connectors support cooling fans of 350 mA~1000 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.

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 Q-Fan 2 feature.

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

cable to the motherboard connector labled CHA_FAN1 or CHA_FAN3 for

better themal environment.
