Fan cabling problem

huanas777 · 2014-08-22 17:29:23

Hi, there, i just finished building my first rig and my problem is that i've made a mistake while choosing a case, as my case fans now are 3-pin male and all fan connections on the motherboard are 4-pin male. Can anyone give me an advise or a link where could I get 3-pin female to 4-pin female adapter? Thanks

Just plug the 3 pin in to the 4 pin header, as long as the groove matches it will work fine:

You can still control your fan speed if the fan headers on that board are voltage controlled, if they are PWM they will run at full speed. The other option is to fit a fan controller.
