I'm a little new to this, but does this mean that my motherboard only accepts 1 case fan??

Then what do I do with my other fans?

Also, my case has 2 usb 3.0 ports, but the spec sheet says there's only 1 usb 3.0 connector? So does that mean my second USB port is redundant??

Please help! Thanks!!

It has two fan connectors one for the CPU and one for chassis fans, you can always get splitter and add more fans, it's a good rule of thumb to add a may of 3-4 per header to not overload it. 

 

And for the USB 3.0 connector the internal connection supports both USB 3.0 ports on the case from one connector.

Oh so you mean the 2 case fans will be connected to 1 wire which I then connect to the usb on my mother board? Haha sorry if this is a dumb question cuz it's my first build and I don't want to be buying a wrong motherboard

Not exactly, the USB and fan connections are completely separate things, the connector on the motherboard basically will support both your USB 3.0 connections on your case.

The fan splitter does basically what it means by take one fan connector and splitting it so it can power and control more than one fan. http://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Sleeved-Splitter-CPF01/dp/B00B46XKKQ
