Hey guys,

I am building a build or the first time and have been scratching my head for 2 hours about some small ridiculous thing. I have connected everything except for these two 3 pin connectors, I'm assuming they are fan connectors. The case comes with 2 fans installed. I have no clue whatsoever where to connect these 3 pin headers. I can't connect them to my motherboard since they're all 4 pin connectors, I have no clue if how to connect them to the PSU. Where am I supposed to connect these two 3 pin connectors? I have looked at other threads like this but could not come to a clear conclusion. Some say I need an adapter, some say it should be connected to the mobo, some say it should be connected to the PSU..

See pictures for clarification:

Edit: Oh please God no. Please. As I posted this thread and looked at the fan hub once more, I realised there are 4 fan connectors connected to the fan hub, while I only have 2 fans.. Please don't tell me the other 2 wires are just excess, just in case I would connect 2 more fans...
 
Solution
The case's provided fans are pre-wired. The connectors you have in your hand are for extra fans you may want to add and run off the fan controller as well. All you need to do is provide power to the fan hub on the cable coming out of the side of the hub.
