Need more Fan connectors

    I built my computer in a case that has 3 fans but my Motherboard only has 2 fan connectors, one 3 pin and one 4 pin. All my fans are 3 pin connectors.
    I was wondering if there is a way to get more fan connectors so I can connect all 3 of my fans?
    Thanks

    You can get splitter cables to run two fans off the one connection, or you can get a molex to 3pin fan connector to connect to the PSU (check the boxes your fans came in if you have them they are often supplied), or you can get a fan controller. The first two options are cheaper

    Yeah, i have a couple of them, working fine. Would normally offer a spare (i have one somewhere) but just moved house and could take days to find!

    Good luck with it
