Help in getting fans.

I just ordered all my parts but forgot to include fans in my order.

My case ( a Rosewill 203A ) can support 2 case fans at either 80mm or 92mm. The problem is that I'm not sure whether or not my motherboard ( ECS 755-A2 ) can support both as there is only one power slot for a case fan on it.

The fans use 3 pin connectors.

Thanks.

Don't connect the case fans to the motherboard, connect them directly to the power supply. Since your fans have 3 pin connectors you have to use 3 to 4 pin power adapters. It's better to keep the case fans off the motherboard so you don't stress the motherboard power circuit.
