The fans will have a plug that you fit onto your motherboard. It will be either 3 pin of 4 pin. If it's 4 pin try to hook it up to a 4 pin on your motherboard, If the motherboard doesn't have one a 3-pin is fine it will still work.

The motherboard you have selected (Asus A78M-E) only has 2 4 pin fan connectors. you will need a splitter or some other way to power your 3rd fan.

you culd either use a fan controller, splitters for the boards 4-pins or adapt from molex

you wont find a motherboard with 3 or more 4 pins in that pricerange imo

i changed to this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153 and the vido they have on that page about the case says teh front and top fans have molex pass throughs (i think thats what she said) and 3 pin connecters so is that like another way to power the fan? so with that MOBO could i power all 3?

it will work with your CPU (APU is just the way AMD describes a CPU with an integrated Graphics Processing Unit)

Youre fine ;)

uhhm depends

adapters come for pretty anything

fan controllers, some led stripes, some older dvd drives were powered by molex

its "Peripheral" Which means you can add everything on there that has an 4-pin Molex (thats what its called by most of the techies and the manufacturers themselves if you talk to them on tech conventions or such) or can be adapted. eg: Molex->SATA Power
