CPU fan plug question

[Boa Constrictor]

I just noticed that my motherboard has more then one place to plug in the CPU fan next to the socket. Which one do you plug the fan into? Does it matter?

It should be labled CPU FAN or something similar. Plug it into that one and your MB can control the fan speed based on temp.

Some mobos let you set the speed though. My MSI K8N lets me control the fan speed to my preference.

On some boards if you dont plug i into the one that says cpu, it will think the fan is not running and fail to boot.
