Hello, I have a four pin fan but only three pin fan connetions on the motherboard. When the fan is pluged into the motherbosrd , the fan will start to rotate at power on but soon slows ant tne stops. Is there a way to correct this so thatt he fna operates normally withiut having to purchase a 3 pin fan?

Hi,

are you talking about the CPU fan or just one of the case fans?

And what motherboard and processor is it?

you can just connect the fan directly to the PSU with a molex connector.
