So i am upgrading my cpu, motherboard cooler and ram, but keeping my current case. Im not really knowledgeable about all computer parts so wondering about the fans in the computer (not the cpu cooler). Will I need to replace those fans, or are they generic and will work with the upgraded parts.

The connectors are all basically generic. Right now, there are 2 types: the 3 pin and the 4 pin(AKA PWM)

Each will work on another's connector, but it the 4pin is nice because it can control the speed of the fan, or even turn it off (amazing if you want a PC that can be completely quiet)

 

So yeah. You don't need to replace them.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.
