The two smaller connectors are fan connectors. You connect fans in them to provide power.

 

The larger, middle cable, is a SATA power cable. It is plugged into HDDs and SSDs (some other things too) to provide power It is SATA power, but it is for the fan controller. You plug a SATA power cable from your PSU into that to provide power for the fan controller.

I have not found a use for these three cables. Does anyone know what they are for?

Those cables look useful,

 

look at them until they make up their minds about where they want to eat

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

"Like" comments to show your support of them or the idea they express.

So are the two fan connectors for the fan controller built in my case? I already have my case fans connected to the motherboard

They look like it, yes. You don't have to use them, but it will give you more control over the fans.

Thats a sata power, but you conect the PSU's sata power conector to that, to power fan controller

Ah, yep. Just looked at it again and it's probably power for the fan controller. My mistake @Kamilz15

Do you recommend doing it? The rest of my system is already built

It's up to you. It gives you more control over the fans, so you can make them run slower (so quieter) when you want. If you've already built everything, you may as well leave it for now, as it's not like the fans aren't working.

I just plugged my fans into the fan controller so hopefully all will be good when I start my system for the first time!
