On my Gigabyte X670E Aorus Elite have a question on the connection of case fans
The Rear fan is fine connects to bottom of Motherboard.
The 4 fan connectors are at bottom of motherboard, SYS_FAN 1/2/3/4
Unfortunately, the 2 pre-installed front Case fans have leads that are too short to reach these connectors.
2 options ... that I can see
There are 2 fan connectors on right hand side of the board that they can reach, although there are only 2 x 4 pin connectors these are labelled as
SYS_FAN/5/6/7/8_pump
Can I use these for the case fans ?
If so, do they work OK as standard (I seem to recall you have to set them to be pump (full on) if used for pump)
Or do I need to get a fan extension cable (presumably a Y cable)
CPU fans are fine, they are connected to CPU_FAN connector at top of board via a Y cable.
