Looks like it cools the VRMs, you want that plugged in.

On my motherboard, extracted from an Alienware Aurora R4, there is a small fan pointing upwards towards the top vents of the case, which is connected to the motherboard. I'm moving to a new case and have little fan headers to work with. Is it ok if this fan isn't plugged in, to instead plug a case fan in, or is it cooling a specific part of the motherboard?
