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.
