Well, the board supports fans that are most likely the 3 pin connectors. The case fans you have may be 3 pin or 4 pin molex connectors. If they are all 3 pin connectors, you would have to buy an adapter to go from 3 pin to 4 pin. If the case fans are 4 pin, just connect the fans to the molex connectors on the power supply. See if your power supply has 4 pin molex connectors that say "Fan Only" My Antec 430 watt PSU has that, so two of my three fans are connected to them which are then thermally controled by the PSU. The other fan is also connected to the PSU but runs at full speed all the time, but that is an intake, where the thermally controled one's are exhaust.
