a Rosewill THOR V2-W Gaming ATX Full Tower Computer case, i swapped the 3 Rosewill 200mm case fans with some Bitfenix Spectre Pro's, 156cfm 25dB 200mm fans with blue LEDs

case fans have small black LED power plugs on ling wires like F-Panel plugs where do i plug them in ?? would that be a MOLEX plug item with adapters for the sockets.??  the box says starting voltage is 5volts operating is 12volts

i don't know anything about this stuff, i need to learn it tho

Yes use the molex adapters and plug them in!

If you look on your motherboard or in the manual you will find that there are connectors placed arouind the motherboard with labels like PWR_FAN and CPU_FAN and SYS_FAN1/2/3 etc any of these will accept the connectors for case fans or as Fatman said use a molex adapter for power from the PSU directly.

I would note however that SYS_FAN2 only works at half power.
