Hey, my computer is few years old, so I decided to upgrade the hard drives, and get a better upgraded system, my current case is a mess, bits missing, dirty and over all just bad, so I decided to buy Corsair Carbide 300R case... just want to ask something, my current case has P8P67 PRO
mother board, and have some questions about it, basically how many fans can my mother board support? I currently have 2 FANS in my current case, back and front... the case I am getting Corsair Carbide 300R, supports 7 in total, but comes with 2, I wanted to maybe take my one old fan and maybe add them to the new case, so 4 in total, but not sure if my motherboard, and put one on the top for airflow at the top, also I heard you needed 20 pin connection for USB 3.0 but on the motherboards website it says its only a 19 pin.. so would be cool if someone sheds come light on it, also my old case has an ESATA PORT my new will not, I have never used it, so I guess its just useless now?

I think that motheroard supports 2 but you can buy a fan controller like this if you want more fans:

Its $24. The Corsair will work fine with 2 fans however. Also, the ESATA is not needed. Your motherboard supports USB 3.0

Don't you have this USB 3.0 header on your board?

well its dark here, I tried to look couldn't see it, so i checked the manual... and it states it does have that connection like the pic you posted, also my PSU looks like its sitting on little stands.. I hope there removable as it may not work on the new case.

That's where the 3.0 cable from your case plugs into the motherboard , giving you front 3.0 ports.
