Last week I bought a Lian l18 case and trying to work out how I can connect the fan thing in there. There are three Molex connectors and a tiny 2-pin and a 6-pin. There is a fan on top of the case that has its own 3-pin. I want to put the MSI 85 E45 board that has an e3 1246 v3 CPI along with a 1070 GPU. But I can't do it till I find out how to connect that fan thing in there. I must say that the case is nice, and see that their cases are well-regarded. I can't see any youtube videos with that connecter on youtube. .I suppose it is a fan hub but where do the over-connectors go? apart from the Molex connectors that is. I hope someone can shine a light on this.

Do yourself a favor, get new fans that don't use Molex connectors

I googled your motherboard and there's plenty of fan headers, so you just need the right fans to use.
