The orange bracket that is surrounding it is used for high end heat sinks.
Cpu fan power connector motherboard.
Proper fan connector placement is shown in the.
The three wire connectors are for small chassis fans with lower power consumption.
When connecting a three wire fan to a four pin fan header the fan is always on.
Using this connection over one fof the power supply will allow the motherboard to control the speed of the fan based on the cpu temperature.
Fans and on board fan headers are backwards compatible.
Proper fan connector placement is shown in the.
Chassis and cpu fans may use either 3 pin or 4 pin power connectors.
The four wire connectors are for processor fans with higher power consumption.
The fan will function normally no matter type of fan header is used.
Fans and on board fan headers are backwards compatible.
Chassis and cpu fans may use either 3 pin or 4 pin power connectors.
The sata power connector should be connected directly to an available sata power cable from your psu and the 3 pin with only a single sensor wire fan connector should be plugged into your cpu fan header on the motherboard.
4 pin connectors are usually used by cpu fans with higher power consumption.
There is no fan control.
This is where the cpu fan will connect.
A four wire fan.
3 pin connectors are usually used for the smaller chassis fans with lower power consumption.
3 pin connectors are usually used for the smaller chassis fans with lower power consumption.
This is where the cpu will plug in.
The fan connector will have two guides 1 and these will need to line up with the tab 2 that is on the motherboard fan header.
A three wire fan connecting to a four pin fan header.
4 pin connectors are usually used by cpu fans with higher power consumption.
