3/4) CPU_FAN/SYS_FAN1/2/3/4 (Fan Headers)

All fan headers on this motherboard are 4-pin. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design.

When connecting a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is

the ground wire). The speed control function requires the use of a fan with fan speed control design. For

optimum heat dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis.

5) SYS_FAN5/6/7/8_PUMP (System Fan/Water Cooling Pump Headers)

The fan/pump headers are 4-pin. Most fan headers possess a foolproof insertion design. When connecting

a fan cable, be sure to connect it in the correct orientation (the black connector wire is the ground wire).

The speed control function requires the use of a fan with fan speed control design. For optimum heat

dissipation, it is recommended that a system fan be installed inside the chassis. The header also provides

speed control for a water cooling pump. Please navigate to the "BIOS Setup" page of GIGABYTE's website
