I have an ASRock z270 mini-itx motherboard. My case is the Coolermaster HAF 932 Advanced. I’m trying to hook up the case fans that come with the case, but can’t seem to find the 3-pin connector on the motherboard. If someone could please show me where it is if there is one, that’d be greatly appreciated.

I hope that helps. the fans plug into those for power, there are such a thing as fan splitter cables, but they are not recommended at all.

There's only one case fan header at the top of the board, you'll have to connect the others to adapters directly to the molex or SATA power connectors from the PSU.... or get a fan controller.

Sorry I'm very new to building PC's, this is my first one after all. I do not quite understand what you mean by adapter to the SATA in the PSU.
Also, where would you put a fan controller? Sorry for so many questions, I'm very confused on what to do.

Thank you for the solutions. I probably will go with the cheaper option, but just out of curiosity, how does the power cable splitter work? Again, sorry for the questions, I just want to learn more about this matter.
