Question Corsair Fans

[robkosar]

I have no idea where to plug in my fans. I'm a first time PC builder, and my fans are confusing me. I have Corsair SP120 pro fans and a Corsair case. The Corsair case already comes with 3 SP120 fans, and a RGB hub pre-installed in the case. I decided to buy 3 more SP120 fans so I could maximize airflow. Installing the fans were easy and each fan has 2 wires comming from it. The first wire goes into the RGB hub which I plugged in. That was easy enough, but the second wire has 3 little holes on it. I have no idea where to plug those in. The MOBO, fan, and case manuals all don't say anything about these cables. I have no idea if they go in my PSU, or where they would go in on my MOBO. They are all black and don't have writing like RGB, RGB header, PWR switch, or Reset switch. Where do I plug these in? Help?

The 3 pin is the power wire. Each fan has two wires. The 4 pin is a 5V RGB cable for the RGB lights and controlling of said lights. The fans also need power to spin which is provided by either a FAN port on the motherboard (3 or 4 pin) or by a Corsair fan controller.

You either need to find an unused fan header on your motherboard OR connect it to a fan controller.
