Marty Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Is the extra unpopulated fan header on the motherboard (the spot where 1.0's plugged their GPU fan into) powered? I think those pads are missing on version 1.6, but I think Microsoft left them on the 1.2 to 1.4's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Yes back in the day I used to fit fans to 1.1 upward just because it helps with temps etc. you are correct the 1.6 does not have them, mainly because MS pretty much redesigned the whole board for the 1.6. Think of them as the essential parts placed where they have to go due to design and the best bits of the v1 onwards added to new tech that would have continued to a 1.7 if there had ever been one.
