So I have a MSI Z97 ACK ITX motherboard and a 3 pin fan what needs to connect to it but I can't for the life of my find a place to connect it on the motherboard, does anyone know where it is or how I can get around this problem

Check the Manual, should have a blueprint of the board and list all the connectors and where they are situated.

Look on the board for "CPU FAN" or "SYS FAN".

It says 1x 4 pin CPU fan and 1x 4 pin for system fan

If the fan is 3 pin it still connects to a 4 pin header. You will see that it can only fit one way

Thanks guys I got it now xD If I wanted to add more fans can I use a molex to 3 pin connector?/

you can get a splitter to run 2/3 from one header as well
