Figure 8 shows the cables of the block. At the left there is a SATA power connector, then four four-pin connectors for fans, and a connector to be attached to a USB header on the motherboard. At the right, there is one three-pin connector that must be connected to the “CPU cooler” header of the motherboard. This is needed to inform the motherboard the fan speed.
