Hi, I have the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H-WB LGA 1155 Intel Z77 Rev. 1.0.

The mobo has 4 system fan headers. The diagram in the manual says the following for those headers:

Fan 1

  • Pin 1: ground
    Pin 2: +12V / Speed Control
    Pin 3: Sense
    Pin 4: VCC

Fan 2 / 3

  • Pin 1: ground
    Pin 2: +12V
    Pin 3: Sense
    Pin 4: Speed Control

Fan 4

  • Pin 1: ground
    Pin 2: +12V
    Pin 3: Sense
    Pin 4: Reserve

The documentation doesn't explain the differences between these headers. My questions are:

1) Which headers are PWM capable?
2) I have 4 PWM case fans I'd like to install and use the PWM feature - if only headers 2 and 3 are PWM, do I need a splitter or hub? Can I run more than one fan off the header?

I have the Arctic F12 fans. Thanks for the help!
