SolutionAre you talking about the area where I have drawn a white perimeter on the attached motherboard image? If so, they look like fan connectors. A three-pin fan connector would permit control/monitoring of the fan in the power supply. This is an educated guess; I don't knoe definitively.
Make a great day!

Re: System board specs Pavillion 510a
I'm not confident I've interpreted your question correctly, but some reasons (I believe) that some manufacturers run the power supply fan from the motherboard are that it allows the fan speed to be monitored and reported to the user/system as well as permitting thermostatic control of the fan (when a heat sensor indicates a rise in temperature, the fan input voltage could be raised to make it run faster). A big motivator for this kind of engineering is to reduce noise (fans generate most of a PC's noise output).
Make a great day!

Re: System board specs Pavillion 510a
Thank you again for your reply. Yes, I did think that it might be a monitoring device for the speedetc of the fan, but as the new power supply does not have such a lead then it cannot perform that function.
I am awarding you points for your prompt and spot on discussion. Thanks
