Just bought a Corsair H60 cooler and directions say to connect pump to any available 3 pin connector. My Asus M5A78L-M mobo only has a 3 pin chasis fan connector and 4 pin cpu fan connector. Am I screwed or am I missing something?
 
Solution
I see what you mean. Your motherboard only has two fan connections. What you can do is get a fan splitter that is powered by a molex connector to power your chassis fans and connect the Corsair H60 to you motherboard fan connector. I've used the Bitspower X-Station Power Extension I before. It comes in ten different LED variants.

There are less expensive models by other companies also as low as $4.50. also.
