this is only my second time building so bare with me, I switched from a

ASRock FM2A75 Pro4-M FM2 AMD A75 TO An ASUS H110M-E/M.2 LGA 1151 Intel H110 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro

My old mobo had a bunch of 3 pin fan connectors but the new one only has 2 connectors and they are both 4 pin? I have 4 fans in my case how do I hook them up?

I apologize if this is a stupid question?

You need fan pin splitter. They are quite cheap. You can easily use your 3pin fans in the 4pin connectors.
