New Build - rookie builder- question on fan connection

[jrpagano]

We bought my son components for a new build this xmas. Corsair 275r tower, He has it hooked up but I cannot see where to connect the two intake fans. they both have a single 3-post connector coming off of them but can't see where they are supposed to plug in. Were we supposed to be a fan controller? the exhaust fan had a place to plug in but can't tell where to plug in the intake fans. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Your motherboard should have fan connectors. Three pin fans can go on 4-pin connectors; you'll have a slot to make sure that they are on correctly.

Hi Jrpagano,

 

To add to DevBikers post - if your motherboard does not have enough fan headers, you will need to get a fan splitter cable so you can mount more than one fan in a connector.
