Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1/SFAN1/NBFAN1
The CPUFAN1 (processor fan), SFAN1 (system fan) and NBFAN1
(NorthBridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports
three-pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always
take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V,
the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard
has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially
designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
