noctua nf-p12 as cpu cooling fan???

[nuku24]

i have the titan fenri cpu cooler but the fan sounds like an industrial machine so i bought the noctua nf-p12 however the noctua come with a 3 pin connector instead of 4 pin connector and will not fit my cpu fan connection on my mobo.i know people have used the noctua as a cpu fan in this forum.
any quick advice would be much appreciated

On the cpu fan connector - there should be a bit of raised plastic which interfaces with the fan connector. Simply connect the 3 pin fan plug around this and the fan will function correctly.

Have a look at this

. In this picture you would place the 3 pin connector on the 3 lower pins.
