Fans are still *rookie*

[GissumGreve]

Hi, I'm halfway finished builing my PC, bying the components when I can. My Antec 1200 has now got power from my Corsair AX860 and the mobo, asus maximus vii hero seems to work fine, but when I power up the system, only the CPU fan and one other fan works. The one besides the CPU fan is whichever I plug into the "CPU_OPT". All the others which are plugged into "CHAN_FANx" won't blow/suck air. How do I make them do so?

All the case fans should be plugged into the CHA_FAN ports (4). I would plug the 200mm fan into the CPU_OPT. You may need fan splitters to connect all 6 case fans and if so they will be underpowered so the only way to get them to spin is to turn up the fan speed medium to high. I had that issue with my old MB (MSI Z87 MPower).

If you need the schematic for the MB you can download it here: http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VII_HERO/HelpDesk_Manual/
Manual & Document > MAXIMUS VII HERO User's Manual (English) > Page 21 of 200. They are # 3 on the diagram.
