I am building my pc and my case came with 2 fans that have 3 pin connectors. Can I connect these to the 4 pin headers on my motherboard?
 
Solution
Yes - you can plug a 3 pin fan into a 4 pin header. They are compatible. The motherboard should sense if a 3 pin or 4 pin is attached and adjust the fan speed accordingly.
