I bought 2 fans recently for the new PC I'm building, but apparently the plugs on them are 4-pin Female PWM's and the ones on the fan controller I got are 3-pin Molexes. Is there any adapter I could get to make them work, or maybe just jam the 3-pin into the 4-pin and hope it works?

I would have to break the sides of the Molex to fit the PWM into it. And even then I'm not sure if the pins would fit into the holes correctly.

I have the NZXT Sentry 2 fan controler and 2 Bitfenix 140MM fans (BFF-SPRO-P14025KK-RP) I'm also using 2 of the fans the case came with, but those are 3-pin Molexes so I don't have a problem with them.

I'm pretty sure it does, actually. I kinda wanted to use the fan controller for it, but this will work until I can find the right adapter.
