My motherboard only has male 4 pins, so I'm kind of confused as to where this should go. Thanks a ton

Those adapters are only if you want to plug your fans into them directly. You have the choice of...

Are you talking about one of these adapters?

Yeah, I have 3 of those male connectors feeding into one of those molex connectors, which is then connected to my power supply. I just can't find a place on my motherboard for those 3 male connects to connect. What's indicated in the manual as the chassis fan connectors are only 4 pinned males.

It appears that the headers are male too, though. Am I plugging it into the wrong place?

Those adapters are only if you want to plug your fans into them directly. You have the choice of connecting the fans directly to the PSU that way... or you can also plug the fans into the 3 or 4 pin headers on the MB.

Those adapters do NOT plug into the motherboard.
