hi shane ive got a motherboard with 4 fan headers 2 of the pre-installed fans have a 3 speed switch but the motherboards can control the speed so should i plug them into the motherboard an set them to the highest speed or should i just hook them straight into the psu thanks

You shouldn't need them on the highest (Will be loud). I have mine on the lowest (Nice and quiet), such as my hard drive fans.

As long as air is moving across them it is moving the heat away and then the rear case fan blows it out

Just use the speed control that came with the fan, put it on low, and you should be fine
