I have a case with 3 fans. Each fan has a power connection and another
small wire which I'm guessing is the turn-on lead. Is there a way to
get these all hooked up if the motherboard only has one place to plug
this wire?

Like I said before, the third lead is just used to measure fan-speed.
Just get a Y connector to plug it into one of the drive Molex
connectors. It'll run fine.

Since the motherboard doesn't have the connector to measure fan-speed
for more than two fans (CPU and Chassis) any other fans you connect just
won't show up on the monitor. They'll RUN just fine though.
