cpu_opt or cpu_fan ?

Just built new PC using i7 6700k and Asus viii ranger.

Using air cooling, a Noctua nh-u14s, and wondering using the cpu_opt or cpu_fan connector on the motherboard?

What is the difference ?

Thanks for the replies.

Have another query.

Every time I run a program I can hear the CPU fan speeding up. Quite annoying and I remember somebody else on the forum reporting the same problem with their new build but cannot find the post.

Thanks for the reply.

I'll install the Asus software to control the fan and see how I get on.
