Hello, im using my old m5300 case with a 960 and the fans of the 960 are facing the case wall so its not getting any air so guys i have a new case with 2 fans inside the case while the m5300 has 1 case inside, im wondering if my motherboard supports 3 fans because for the m5300 i only need 2 which is supported but i cant find any connection for 3 fans anyone  can help?

use a 4-pin Molex Fan and find one with a resistor (adjustable)

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

So, the pins are on the fan cable?  If so you'd need a female adapter to connect to a molex on the PSU.  See if the PSU has any female 3 pin adapters for you to plug the fan into.  If not and there is no place on the mobo either then you need a molex to female pin adapter.  The board only gives them power, but the PSU can do it to if it has the right hook up.  If it doesn't then you can get an adapter.  The only point is power.  So, it doesn't matter which the fan connects to...the mobo or the psu...it just needs a source of poI

i have this kind of connection coming out from the fan 187685158_f43767f2-5335-443e-9413-fa1ae0

https://www.netonnet.se/art/komponenter/installationmoddning/installationsmaterial/deltaco-ssi-36-y-kabel3-pins/118562.9344/ is this the one 

 

Then you need to buy a 4-pin molex to a 3-pin fan connector.  http://www.amazon.com/HDE%C2%AE-4-Pin-Molex-3-Pin-Cable/dp/B0081K3ZS0  This connects to your PSU, and the 3 pins go into the fan's female part.  So, the molex part connects to the PSU while the 3 pin connects to the case fan's cable.
