It should fit since the case claims that it can handle any standard atx mobo. You can always mod it if it doesn't fit

It will fit any motherboard up to those dimensions. The motherboard mounting holes will be in the same locations no matter if the motherboard is 12" x 10.2" or 9.6" x 12".

if it only has two u need a 4 pin converter that hooks up to the psu, and leaves it open, so its like a Y cord

i got a question
isn't it better to use a 3 to 4 pin connector so that it doesn't drain power from the mobo, unless you need the rpm speed?

It's recommended that you feed power to the case fans directly from the power supply. This is because some of the newer fans available are the high speed, high flow types that can tax the motherboards power circuits because of the power required to spin the fan blades so fast. But there are RPM power adapters available the will connect the fan directly to the power supply and still allow RPM monitoring through the motherboard if you want it.
