7. CPU, CPU optional, high amp, extension, water pump+, AIO pump, and chassis
fan connectors (4-pin CPU_FAN; 4-pin CPU_OPT; 4-pin H_AMP; 5-pin EXT_FAN;
4-pin W_PUMP+; 4-pin AIO_PUMP; 4-pin CHA_FAN1-3)
Connect the fan cables to the fan connectors on the motherboard, ensuring 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!
• Ensure to fully insert the 4-pin CPU fan cable to the CPU fan connector.
• For better Q-Fan functions, we recommend using 4-pin PWM fans when you connect
powerful fans (1A or above) onto the H_AMP_FAN connector.
• Ensure to disable Q-Fan functions if you want to connect powerful 3-pin DC fans (1A
or above) onto the H_AMP_FAN connector.
• W_PUMP+ function support depends on water cooling device.
