I bought a H100i and i went to change the fans to different corsair fans (Corsair CO-9050006-WW Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition) then realised that to link it to my H100i i need a 4pin plug in can you get a connector? If so where from?
 
Solution


The 3 pin connectors are key compatible with the 4 pin connectors. It should fit right in.

Yes it does but i cant conrtol the fans speed through corsair link because the last of the 4 pins is the one used to control, so thats why i am wanting to get an adapter so i can use all 4 pins

Have you thought about connecting the SP120's directly to your motherboard and letting it control your fans instead of Corsair Link? That is what I did to reduce the number of cables going into the pump. I connected the SP120's to CPU Fan and CPU Opt on my Maximus VII Hero and let FanExpert control the fan speeds.
