I have that mobo and I have 4 fan connectors. For mine, I have one for |
| 22 |
the CPU fan, front, rear and top. My side fan just plugs in and runs. |

It's those big 200mm thingys. Anyway, you should have 4 connectors on |
| 24 |
there. If needed, I can take the side off and give you a general |
| 25 |
location. It should be in the manual to tho. |

By the way, I also let the BIOS handle my fan speeds. It works pretty |
| 28 |
well. It's quiet but when compiling, it also keeps things cool. My CPU |
| 29 |
never goes above 110F. Good air flow and a large CPU cooler keeps |
| 30 |
things cool. |
