CPU fan connections

[devdeep]

Using be Quiet Pro 4 cooler with Asus X570-E board (see diagram)

Cooler has 2 fans and a "Y" connector to connect both to "A" on the diagram. Can I connect these 2 individually to A and C?

 

Also not sure what the M.2 fan header is for? Apologies - not sure how to insert smaller image.

Yes, you can connect the fans to different fan headers if you don't want to use the included splitter. Any of the fan headers displayed work fine. 

The M.2 fan header is just a fan header with different presets but is probably functionally the same or very similar as other headers if you're going to use your own settings.

The included splitter isn't a requirement. Using the motherboard header will give you a little more control over the fan as well as those splitters usually don't include PWM control for the 2nd fan.

Thanks. As my fan is Air cooler, can I use headers A and B instead of A and C?

Yes, you can use any of the fan headers.
