And the connecter is only 3 slots for pins so would that matter if I just plugged it in to any 3 of the 4?

I have three extra fans out side the motherboard and only 4 molex connecters from the psu so would I have to keep a fan out of the build then?

Lets you add extra fans to a fan header.

I only add 1 Extra to each header.

So I would need 3 to fit all 6 fans on the motherboard?
