Difference between SFAN and CFAN?

[Trizik]

I have two power connectors on my motherboard; SFAN and CFAN. What is the difference? Which do I use for my processor fan?

do you have a motherboard manual

 

[twitchee2]

maybe the "s" stands for system and the "c" could be chipset or cpu

Yes, it doesn't say whether there's a difference. It says that they are both +12V.

i dont think it matters then. the only differance maybe is each one will show up with its own RPM

I searched around some more and found out that SFAN is in fact "system fan" and CFAN is in fact "CPU fan," so I connected my processor to the CFAN connector.
