Hey there guys, how yall doing? I recently bought a new case which has space for two fans in the front and one in the back. I already have a fan in the back, but i want to buy two new ones to install on the front.

So, my question is if my motherboard has enough connectors for 3 case fans. It's an ASRock A320M-HD. I tried to look at a few websites, but all those i found said something different. Then, i oppened the case and tried to find them myself, but this was the first PC i ever built and i had no luck. I was able to find the CPU cooler connector, which was 4-pin, and one case fan connector, which was 3-pin and i used it to power up the fan in the back.

Are there any other connectors in this motherboard or will i have to buy and replace it with another motherboard so i can have my two fans in the front?

I apologize for any rookie mistake i might be making and for any english mistakes. Thank you!

That motherboard has one 4 pin CPU fan header, one 4 pin case fan header, and one 3 pin case fan header. So, no, you can't plug your 3 case fans directly into the motherboard, but you can use a splitter, a fan hub, or a cable that directly connects one of your molex or sata power connectors to a fan.
