I thought the mobo controlled the CPU fan but did not control the case fans. My case fans all came with adapters to connect to the PSU so that is what I used (4 case fans). I didn't feel good about running extra power through the motherboard, although fans don't use much power so this probably isn't a valid concern. Connecting to the PSU cleaned up my wiring a bit.
