I cannot for the life of me find
The 3 pin connector on my MOBO, granted I am very sleepy. I have an ASUS P8Z 68-V LE mobo witch should have a 3 pin fan connector (Says asus site) but I can't find it. It can't be in use since the pre-installed case fan isn't even hooked up. (Which is why I'm looking for the connector! The fan is plugged into the PSU, but not the Mobo yet), and I'm finally getting around to finishing that. (I've been running the comp at fine temps for over a year, just figured I'd do it to get a bit more experience hands on since I didn't build it myself.)

The motherboard has two fan connectors for the "Power Supply Fan" and "Chassis Fan", located where AnnaDragon circled one of them on the picture, just to the left of where it says "ASUS PBZ68-V LE" below the CPU socket.
The 3 pin connector is for non-speed controlled fans, the 4-pin connector to its left is for speed-controlled fans.
There's another speed-controlled 4-pin Chassis Fan connector at the top of the motherboard, just to the left of the CPU fan connector.
They're also called out on page 1-11 and page 1-32 of the motherboard manual in bored741258963's link.
Use whichever one your chassis fans plug fits into (3 or 4 pin).

I found [url=http://www.manualowl.com/m/Asus/P8Z68-V-LE/Manual/263043]this.[/url] Look at page 27-28, I think that's what you're looking for?
It's fairly straight forward, I would like help locating the 3 pin connector on my mobo for the case fan.
