Hyper 212 Plus Push/Pull, But Fan is 4-Pin?

[mclovits]

Hello, I intend to purchase the Asrock Z77 Pro4 Motherboard soon. I want to do a push/pull configuration with the Hyper 212 Plus I am also purchasing. The issue being that another Blade Master 120mm fan has a 4-pin power connector, and the motherboard only has a 3-pin Cpu Fan 2 connector. What should I do? Get a different fan? And if I get a different fan, will I have to set both fans to %100 in the BIOS? Thanks.

Note: Sorry if this is in the wrong section, wasn't sure what to classify the issue as because I couldn't find any help on Google.

You can put 3 pin fans on a 4 pin connector i think- http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&client=opera&rls=en&channel=suggest&tbm=isch&tbnid=hDw6XLXhnqGUIM:&imgrefurl=http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-012074.htm&docid=vzgI52kI43k8rM&imgurl=http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/img/4pin1.jpg&w=207&h=227&ei=NNoeUIr3LYGb1AXRvIGoDQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=333&vpy=158&dur=695&hovh=181&hovw=165&tx=81&ty=117&sig=104575795149019366286&page=1&tbnh=142&tbnw=128&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:76&biw=1280&bih=655

Ya, I saw that, but the fan is going to be 4-pin in a 3 pin connector which is why I'm confused. I'd just like to get a fan that will match the speed of the on on the cooler to begin with so that they don't burn out and so I can get maximum airflow.

So it would be compatible, but I wouldn't have motherboard fan control? Or does the board have voltage control?

4 pins are 3 pins with an pin on the end, i edited my last post....

It should control the fans but if not then you can either get a 3-pin fan for the heatsink.

Or get 4 fans -http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103052
