Hello, my friend is doing his first pc build, and is having a bit of trouble figuring out where to plug the fan cables into his motherboard. He has a NZXT Phantom 410 case, if that helps at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

As the Motherboard sits installed, the CPU_FAN header (4-pin) is just above the CPU socket, near the upper-right corner.

One of the SYS_FAN (3-pin) headers is to the lower left the CPU socket.

The third, and last, SYS_FAN header is along the bottom edge of the board, near the lower left. It is below the center of the lowest PCI slot.

If he had more than three fans, there are a number of options available, the cheapest already mentioned. He can also invest in a hardware fan controller, or Y-splitter adapters.

they're the 4 pin slots. and if you have more than 3 fans you can hook the rest up using a molex adapter that most likely came with your fan, directly to your power supply, however you wont be able to control your fan speeds on those ones without a fan controller. but they will run full blast.
