They're fan headers for the controller. You plug fans into them.

Those be 3 pin fan connectors. Pending the motherboard, there could be between 2-4 fan connectors.

So basically they are for the fan control button up top? If I don't connect them to anything nothing will happen, right?

If you don't connect them, then you won't have any of those intake/exhaust fans working.

But but, there are also regular fan cables coming from them so I can plug them to the mob without the controller

You could.

It depends how you want to control your fans, you can let the mobo control them based on temp/load in which case plug them into mobo only, or you can control them with the fan controller.

Thanks man! I had to connect them to my mobo, I think I'm going to get a fan controller, any suggestions?
