The fan on this comes with a 3 pin port, but the motherboard I'm planning on getting only has 4 pin ports for fans. Is there any way to adapt the size

They'll still be compatible, one pin of the 4 on the board is just left exposed. Your board will still run the fan just fine.
1309898
Yes a 3 pin will still fit on a 4 pin slot. Theextrs pin is for fan speed control

You should be able to plug a three pin into a 4 pin. Alternatively you could just rub them off the power supply with the right connectors.

Usually, motherboards come with 4-pin connectors but the plastic support for the connector is usually set in a way that it can support 3-pin electrical connectors from fans. So, the short answer is that you will probably not need an adapter, it will work just fine just as it is.

It's been a while since I built that PC as a gift to a relative. IIRC, those fans have molex power connectors, meant to attach directly to your power supply, not your motherboard.

You can look on Amazon for fan control devices, but most MB have enough connection to work with this case. This you will see isn't a big deal. Good luck.

You should be able to change the pin locations on the adapter plate to matchthe pin out of the motherboard. The motherboard pin configuration should be in the manual. You'll need a tiny screwdriver to depress the plastic tabs on the plug so the pins can be slipped out.

4 pin pwm connections which work on 3 pin as well. You can use it on a mobo with 1 fan connection with a powered pwm splitter that draws from the psu directly. That's my recommendation if you use a splitter that's not powered you might get some noise from the fans on start up. But that depends on the amps your mobo can provide. Hope that helps. Oh and by the way I replaced mine with a AIO water cooler and the temps are way better allowing for an additional oc of 0.4ghz

Actually on this you can actually make a lot of your connectors because I had to do it with a 4 pin and 12 pin that I have on my motherboard and my Corsair is still going strong! Hope this helps.

That mobo has that large black plate or heat spreader on it I don't think it will fit you might have to mod the stand for the fans but they way it sits is it just hold into the end tabs that hold the ram down its just sits over that I have the gig G1 sniper 5 mobo and for me I want to to be more tight to hang onto the ram tabs so I bent it a bit so it was more snug on there if you want a plug and play fit I don't thing this will be the one it won't fit if you don't mind modding the fan a bit go for it

Three pin fans, but they will work with four pin connections. I use mine with and four pin MSI motherboard.

No, there's 3 ports, two of them are 2.0 and the one is 3.0, I've had this case for a little over two years and I love it, my pc is always cool and maybe the only flaw if you want to look at it that way is to get to the front filters of the fans you do need to unscrew a lot of bolts in the front part, I mean is really easy but a little tedious if you know what I mean. Just my two cents.

Yes but not easy you could go on Kingston's web site and look or call them or I think you could look here on amazon for 2 fans and tie them Together with a 3 pin plug to the motherboard

Hello,Yes, it is a 4-pin PWM fan. If you require something with a bit more airflow, let us know. We can re-direct you.Regards,PartsCollection

I'm not aware of a four pin on a motherboard. Like it says, connect it to the power supply. It works fine as a 5volt or 12volt for a full speed fan.

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, i´m studing it yet.)

Pretty sure they are 4 pin. I will look when I get home and if I am wrong I will update in 24h. You can use 3 pin fans, Ive done it before, just make sure the groove on the fan headers line up and theyll run.

In your case.. using it as a rear case fan, use the molex connector, not the 3 pin one.. <unless you want to monitor the fans RPM's via the MB> As for the setting.. Does your case get warm? If so use the high setting.. I personally like quiet fans, since its a case fan, try the medium setting. If you have a temp monitor with that case, watch it and adjust accordingly.

No, the fans only have their attached 3 pin connector which can plug into a 3 or 4 on can controller on your motherboard. You will need an additional adapter to plug these fans into the power supply, likely through a molex connector.

You can connect it to your psu to 4pin connector which will run at full speed or you can buy a cheap fan controller where you can connect 2-5fans which ever you like and can rub them at low rpm for quiet performance...what you do is coonect these fans to your mobo and the stock fans to psu(power supply)
