You want to use the lower three that are circled in blue, or the one circled in red.

sad to say, all the fans int he corsair case are three pin the only fan that is four pin is the one I am using for the CU cooling so which side of the four pins do you start the three pin connection???Same with the add in card that came with the motherboard, they are all four pin connections Way confusing

A four pin connector works just fine with a three pin fan. The inverse is not always true. There's a BIOS setting that allows you to specify whether it's a four pin fan (PWM) or a three pin fan (Voltage Control).

Any of the fan headers would work. You could use the ones on the motherboard or the ones on the fan extension card. The headers have a plastic tab on them to properly align a 3-pin connector to them. I suggest you write down what header you use for what fan to make your life easier when setting up the BIOS.
