[SOLVED] Connecting CPU Cooler Fan to Motherboard

[smalltownusa]

Good afternoon,
Am building an HTPC. My motherboard is an MSI B450 Tomahawk Max. My CPU is an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and my CPU cooler is a Noctua NH-L12S. Got the cooler installed but do not know where to connect the cooler fan to the motherboard. Noctua instructions say to connect it to the motherboard's CPU fan header???
Thanks for your help,
Harold

You have to connect it to your motherboard fan header. Where it is can be found in your motherboard manual.

should be 1 (of 2) 4-pin headers right by the CPU socket they're usually silk-screened CPU & SYS
looks like it's up top by the RAM slots (top center)

Thanks for the responses. Seems like a trivial question, but I didn't want to fry one of more of my components.
