Fan Headers On Motherboard Download Freebackstage



A Motherboard (sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, planar board or logic board, or colloquially, a mobo) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) found in computers and other expandable systems. It holds and allows communication between many of the crucial electronic components. Here are complementary connectors of motherboards.
Forward to / Apple / Dell / ECS / HP / HPE pinouts or follow to 32 OLD hardware pinouts.
  • Intel High Definition Audio connectorIntel HD Audio analog front panel dongles can support up to two analog audio jacks, each of which signals user connection, or disconnection.
  • Motherboard 2-pin fan connector
  • Motherboard 3 pin CPU or Case Cooling fan connector
  • Motherboard 4 pin CPU PWM fan connectorFor 4-Wire Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Controlled Fans
  • PC Speaker connector
  • RS232 serial motherboard header connectorRS232 serial is also called COM port
  • USB 2.0/1.1 Header
  • USB 3.0 HeaderUSB 3.0 is the successor of USB 2.0. USB 3 reduces the time required for data transmission, reduces power consumption, and is backward compatible with USB 2.0
  • USB 3.0 Header to USB 2.0 HeaderUSB 3.0 contains normal USB 2.0 connections. This is commonly for PC cases that have ports that don't match the Available headers. Converting from 3.0 -> 2.0 is flawless, but converting from 2.0 -> 3.0 will make your 3.0 ports active, but will only function at 2.0 speeds.
  • USB header internal connectorUsed for card-edge bracket additinal USB ports and internal cardreaders. This is very old and does not match most modern mother board usb headers.

USB 3.0 Header to USB 2.0 Header USB 3.0 contains normal USB 2.0 connections. This is commonly for PC cases that have ports that don't match the Available headers. Converting from 3.0 - 2.0 is flawless, but converting from 2.0 - 3.0 will make your 3.0 ports active, but will only function at 2.0 speeds. Just being mindful of what is best to connect directly and solely to the CPU header. If you have more fans than fan headers, then I would suggest a fan controller be added to the system if you are running alot of radiator and/or case fans. Like say once you exceed 4-6 Fans in total. 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. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.

Apple Pinouts
