Hi guys,
I am building a new pc & am having a case fan problem. All my case fans or 3 pin & my MB only has 4 pin. The 2 front case fans actually have an odd connector, it has 3 male & holes for 3, which means it is not staying hooked up to the MB. Id rather not have to replace all the fans. any1 have this issue?
CASE - Corsair 500R
MB - Gigabyte z77x-ud3h

thanks!

what do you mean by "3 male & holes for 3"? a 3 pin female connector will fit on a 4 pin male connector as the male connector back tab is only 3 pins wide so it is keyed for a 3 pin female connector.

You can buy some 3 to 4 pin adapters for your fans. Most computer shops sell them.Similar to these. I'm not sure what yours look like.
