Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1/SFAN1, SFAN2/NBFAN1
The CPUFAN1 (processor fan), SFAN1/SFAN2 (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, al-
ways 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.
MSI Reminds You...
1. Always consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
2. CPUFAN1 supports the fan control. You can install Core
Center utility that will automatically control the CPU fan speed
according to the actual CPU temperature.
