i believe that is the psu fan controller, just plug it into one of the fan plugs on your motherboard, or you can just leave it unplugged all it does is let you monitor and control the psu fan speeds.

yeah thats the fan controller for the psu, I have a Antec smart power to. You don't need to worry abot it if you don't have a plug for it, it won't hurt anything not to use it.

in my experience online manuals are always more detailed than the one's you get with the product. when I used my Antec psu the board I had at the time did not have an extra fan pin so I never used it and I had no problems.

You can plug it into the connector with four pins, I just looked at the online manual for your board and it shows that the plugs can be used with a three or four pin connector. If you do use it plug it into the plug by your ram slots.

Common issue with SMART Fan, if the CPU is kinda low temperature, it knows it doesn't need the CPU fan to spin as it's cool enough so it won't spin, when it gets hotter it'll start to spin. This is what SMART fan does, such as my HSF goes from 500 RPM to 2500 RPM mostly, never had it cold enough to run without needing the heatsink's fan.
Check in the BIOS for SMART Fan (can't remember which section it's under, possibly Advanced BIOS Features), and it'll probably be set to "Auto", if so disable this to double check the fan on the CPU is functioning and then reboot the system and wait about 10 seconds to see if it starts spinning.

But shouldn't it spin from the go? I wasn't sure if it was safe to leave the PC on while the fan was not spinning... I will try what you've said first to see if the fan is actually working.
How do I get into the BIOS on award? Is it F8?

Once I exited the BIOS I turned off the PC at the front and noticed that the two front lights where blinking and it was making a clicking sound.
I turned it off then plugged some extra parts into it. (PCI, SATA HD) and turned on the main power at the back.
Then..
Click click.. both lights on LED flashing. I'm not going to turn it on yet. Since it looks like something serious.
Remember this has nothing to do with the parts I've just added since It was doing this before I put those parts in.

can you be more specific
what did you do in Bios , what part made this click sound ...
Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.

I viewed PC health in BIOS to check temps.
I exited the BIOS without saving changes pressed the off button on the front of the PC, Then i heard clicking coming from the PSU? (I think) then i seen both lights blinking on the LEDS.
The only way to get rid of this was to turn off the main power.
Then I added some more hardware.
Then I connected it again, powered on the main power (not the on button on front of PC) and I hear the clicking again.

I'm not using any software because its not booting and the shitty PSU is shit.
Half an hour it lasted... what a joke.
Antec are a joke. Merry Xmas.

Right, After pulling everything out and starting most of it over again. It seems to be working now. I have no idea what was causing it not to boot.
Temps IDLE :
Motherboard 36 °C (97 °F)
CPU 30 °C (86 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #1 44 °C (111 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #2 44 °C (111 °F)
GPU 47 °C (117 °F)
Seagate ST3250620AS 39 °C (102 °F)
I don't understand the CPU Temps..

@KrAzY-KaMeL
What CPU are U running with that Ninja? and what temps do u get ?
I bought a Skythe Infinity (yes its HUGE!) and therefore wont fit on my mobo 
Was thinking about the Ninja...but just saw this new Zalman CNPS 9700 NT (it has the NV logo on it, me LIKE!  )
I am running a E6600.

Cheers man, great review!
Ordered the Ninja now. I think I would have the same prob with the Tuniq as with the Infinity, both are just HUGE! and would never fit. I actually wrote about this on EVGA's forum.
http://www.evga.com/community/messageboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23562
You can see that the 680i board have some design flaws when it comes to the layout for that 8PIN socket, that is if you are planning to use any of these "enthusiast" heat sinks that is.
Did some rough estimations and I am pretty sure that the Ninja would not cover that socket as its a tad smaller then the Infinity. Crossing my fingers here

Cheers man, I am pretty confident now.
This is from that guys rig.
As you can see the 8PIN is just fine, clearing the heat sink with enough space for that connector.
As for the mounting, also read that you have to file down a bit on that X bracket, no problem
Actually I think I hijacked this thread, but as KrAzY-KaMeL here gave me all the answers I looked for I will retire a happier man.
Again, thanks a bunch man.

No problem at all. It looks like you'll be just fine. Good Luck and I hope everything turns out well for you.

It might be the perspective, but it looks like the cooler blocks one of the ram-slots? |
