i've installed the processor and fan, but where do i connect the fan
connection to, the CPU_FAN or PWR_FAN?

new to all this, so be gentle :-)

it's a A7V333 motherboard by the way.

thanks

Well, processor = CPU so you can guess you connect it to CPU_FAN. ;)
Mainly because of monitoring options; the other connection will work as
well BTW.

On that you can put another fan, say to extra cool down your power supply,
or your HD if you want.

Its not that simple if u dont know what CPU stands for:

Central Processing Underdog

Oh, OK. Never mind - use CPU_FAN for the first processor.

If you had a P2B-DS, the second processor fan should connect to PWR_FAN,
leaving CHA_FAN for the power supply fan. Logical and consistent
labelling, isn't it? :-)
