I am going to be getting a GA-7VAXP motherboard and I was wonder something. I want to buy some 80mm case cooling fans, but does my motherboard use the fans with the 3 pin connector or the 4 pin connector. Can someone explain this me. Thanks

the fans are connected to the PSU and not the mobo, most are 3 pin female/male connectors

If you find that the connections are wrong, adapters (3- 4 pin) are available everywhere.

My GA-7VRXP has 2 fan connecters 1 for CPU and 1 for system. They are small 3 pin the larger 4 pin connecters are the ones that connect to your PSU. There are pass through and adapters and some have a signal wire ect...
