This is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JTmh23

My MOBO has 4 case fan connectors that are all 4 pin. I have 8 LED fans that are all 3 pin.

I would like to get 4 y splitter cables that convert 4 pin to 3 pin.

Does this even exist? If so please recommend one.

Thank you in advance!

You don't need adapters. Just connect the fans. They only connect one way.

I myself have not seen thorse. But you really dont need them either. The 3 pin cables fit the 4pin connectors. I'd just go for normal 3 pin splitters and save the hazzle of finding something that might not exist.

If I use a 3 pin y splitter cable, one pin on the MOBO will be sticking out. Should that pin be the right most or the left most one on the fan connector?

The connectors have a "slider" right behind th pins that are the ones to use. The cable connector has a notch in them as well that fit that slider on the connector.
