I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 motherboard.

There is a CPU fan on the motherboard that is use by the heatsink fan to keep the CPU cool, correct? I hope so that is where I have the heatsink fan connected. :D (Its not plug in to the elec socket)

Then there are two other plugs/connectors one is called:
SYS_FAN the other is named,
NB_FAN (Chip Fan Power Connector)

I have installed a exhaust fan in the back of my computer case. Which one of the plugs above am I to use is it the SYS_FAN? Can you explain what the NB_FAN (Chip Fan Power Connector) is what should be attached to that plug?

I have read the manual!

Thanks! :)

I have installed a exhaust fan in the back of my computer case. Which one of the plugs above am I to use is it the SYS_FAN?Yes, if the exhaust fan has a 3 pin connector plug it into the SYS FAN header.Can you explain what the NB_FAN (Chip Fan Power Connector) is what should be attached to that plug?NB stands for northbridge, it's the main controller chip on the motherboard. If it has a heatsink with a fan on it, the fan plugs into this header. If the heatsink is passive (no fan) don't worry about it.
