I bought a new computer case that has 3 fans but mobo only has one hook up?

i bought a new computer case, its really nice but it has 3 fans but the motherboard only has one hook up, the plugs on end of all the fans have three hole hook up,is there a wire i can buy that can hook all those up?I bought a new computer case that has 3 fans but mobo only has one hook up?
Are they 3-pin molex or 3-pin fan, 3-pin empty molex, etc.?





Check out frozencpu for their selection of fan connectors:

Just read the product descriptions to find out which one you need.I bought a new computer case that has 3 fans but mobo only has one hook up?
The fans that came with my case use a molex connection but the new ones i bought connect to the mobo. But the did come with a converter that converted it to a molex connection. So now i can run 4 fans from 1 molex connection since they clip into each other.





Do a search on eBay for it. It would most probably be dead cheap, just search something like ';fan converter molex'; in all categories. You should get what you need.
if your motherboard only has 1 3pin fan header, (which i find very weird) your cpu fan will be using it,





thought about getting some of these.?

I think those fans connect to the power supply... not the motherboard.
