I found the PWR fan header and it's only 3-pin so it should work regardless (although I'm not sure what it's actually used for, I've never used one).

I couldn't find the SYS fan headers (they weren't clearly labeled) but I did find one other header and it was also 4-pin, so the above would also apply to these.

If your fans only have 3 leads, line them up with the power leads and they'll run 100% rpm all the time. If your fans have 4 leads, you have to setup fan speed control in the BIOS most likely.
Very unlikely that 3 fan header are bad and no other problems.

One thing to try is a Bios update.
