Do I need to buy molex case fan connectors with these cases + PSU?

Theminecraftaddict555

I am wondering if I need to 3-4 pin molex connectors for the interior fans of these cases or will the PSU have these in place?

 

PSU:https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

 

Cases:

Define s https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352054 (seems to have a 3 pin connector for rear fan, not sure about front)

 

My mobo only has one case fan connector btw

The psu has an in built fan controller, unless you plan to mod the PSU there is no need to worry about the PSU fan

LOL Sorry about the confusion but I was talking about case fan molex connectors that I could use to connect to the power supply and connect the case fans in my cases

btw you can plug a 4 pin into a 3 pin header and and you can plus a 3 pin in a 4 pin header (as long as the header doesnt have a casing then a 4 pin cant go in a 3 pin) , its just that you wont be able to control the fan speed

For the tesseract sw, that won't help since the case fan connections are molex not pinned..Does my power supply have cables that I could plug my tesseract SW case fans into?

 

When it comes to the Define S  case after some researching, the both the rear and front fan seems to have a 4 or 3-pin fan header..So that might help my situation..Do you think the rear fan header of this case would be long enough to reach the chasis fan port on my mobo: http://imgur.com/a/7c6HW

It may be long enough, but if not you can always get a fan power extension cable. Also, since it appears the Mobo has just that single 4-pin Chassis Fan on the front of the board, you should get a fan splitter so that you can run at least a front and rear fan off of the header.
