If you mean you want to plug the fans into the SYS Faan header(s) on the MB, that board only has 1 x CPU fan and 1 x Sys Fan header. But you can connect as many fans as you want to the PSU's Molex connector(s). Most fans come with an adapter for that purpose. If yours don't, look for one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CNSB9Njb0boCFadFMgodHmMAdg&Item=N82E16812379009&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Internal+Power+Cables-_-N82E16812379009&ef_id=UnsGtQAAAGJVQmUv:20131107031917:s
Buy as many as you need for as many fans as you want to use. But be aware that they will all run at 100% RPM when connected to the PSU directly. If you need to control the speed of the fans, you will want to...

If the Prodigy didn't come with adapters for a Molex connection, yes. One fan can connect to the MB header if you desire, one to any Molex. The one connected to the MB FAN header, may be speed controllable thru BIOS. The other fans you want to add will depend on which ones they are. Most come with an adapter for that purpose. But not all.

Here is a link to the web page for your board if you haven't found it already: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#ov
It will provide you with the latest drivers and utilities downloads, specs, support, etc.
