Fan connections on MOBO

[512mb]

Hey guys I just got a new MOBO (Gigabyte - S-Series 965P-DS3) and the case I have has five available slots for fans. On the Mobo there is 4 slots for fans. The slots are ( CPU_FAN | SYS_FAN | PWR_FAN | NB_FAN ). Now I have been reading the manual but what I was wondering is what exactly are these types of fan connections? I mean I know cpu fan goes to the cpu. But what is sys_fan and nb_fan? Probably a dumb question, but any help would be appreciated


Thanks,

pwr_fan is tha fan in the power suppl
nb_fan is the north bridge fan if you buy one or if it has one
sys_fan I bvelieve maybe a case fan

Awsome, thanks for the help. On my other case fans, I take it they plug into the cords that come w/ the PSU?

if they have a conector on them like the ones that plug into a cd drive then ya

You can also hook your case fans up to the nb_fan and pwr_fan if these are 3 pin plugs and they are unused.
