NZXT Phantom fan connection?
I'm having troubles with connecting the fans that came with the case, there's like four - six wires (Sorry I don't know the specific names for them) which isn't connected to anything yet since I have literally no idea where it can be fitted.

Other than that the PC does run but the CPU temp in Gigabyte BIOS, states as 60 C at idle...

They get plugged into the motherboard fan headers

Phantom Cases have a Fan Controller; plug the fans into that; then there should be a wire connection that comes off the fan controller and connects to your power supply; in the end powering all those connected fans.

Depends on the Phantom Case Model; as not all have the same options.

For example:

^ Fan controller in the more expensive NZXT Cases.

^ In this, you can see multiple 3-pin fan headers that are Male; plug your Fans into those. The larger 4-pin Molex connector shown, is to power all those fan-headers shown, plug that connector into your Power Supply.

The second picture is the wires I left alone since I don't think I got those 4-pin molex connectors...
And yeah I check the other side of the case there is wires attached to the fan controller.

Of course you have molex connectors; every PC PowerSupply has them; they are standard, just less common now.

I really don't get what your issue is; plug the fans into the 3pin connectors; plug the 4pin molex connector into your power supply. Simple as that.

There's two types of wires that I can plug in the ps. One of them is coloured red (which is believe it's for gpus) and other one is black which I used for the hard drive and btw this is my first PC build, So I don't know some of these things. I got everything else working but just this.

It doesn't really say the case model.
Edit:
I guess your right, the power supply contains these connectors:
1 x 4+4pin CPU +12V
6 x 4pin Molex
8 x 6+2pin PCI-E Power
1 x FDD Power
10 x SATA Power

That's what all your PSU came with; the 4-pin Molex are the ones labeled "PATA"

So I came across this post and was wondering if you guys can help me diagnose my case, I have power to the fan control module since the LED on the module lights up when you power on the system however there is no power to the fans when I connect them
