I am a little confused about how my fans are supposed to work. I just built my computer on my own and I can't seem to figure out how to get the case fans to spin. Could someone please look at my parts list and see how they are supposed to hook up?

Hook your case fans up to the motherboard fan headers.

Yea I tried that. They are three pin and the motherboard headers are four pin and they don't fit. I've heard that they are supposed to be compatible for both three and four pin but they just do not work/fit:/ Do I need some type of adapter or something?

One that case there is a built in fan controller and fan hub. You need to connect the molex connector that comes with the case to the power supply. It will power the fan hub and controller which will power the fans.

There isnt a need to hook them up to the motherboard at all.
