In fact the header block is for the CPU fan.  Unfortunatly you have the
wrong power connector (5.25 drive style connector instead of 3.5 style 
connector).  The main advantage of using the on-board connector is that
through the power saving features, you can cut the power to the CPU fan
when you slow down the processor.
