Z97-PRO GAMER Fan connectors
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! The CPU_FAN connector supports a CPU fan of
maximum 1 A (12 W) fan power.
• The CPU_FAN connector and CHA_FAN connectors support the ASUS FAN Xpert 3
feature.
• The CPU fan connector detects the type of CPU fan installed and automatically
switches the control modes. To configure the CPU fan's control mode, go to
Advanced > Monitor > CPU Q-Fan Control item in BIOS.
• The chassis fan connectors support DC and PWM modes. To set these fans to DC
or PWM, go to Advanced > Monitor > Chassis Fan 1/2/3 Q-Fan Control items in
BIOS.
