just got one of these its 3 pin but the p5n-e sli is 4 pin so will only go into the chassis 3 pin slot
where can i find an adator

You sure you can't fit it in the cpu fan header? I've got an ASUS mobo with a 4 pin header, but a 3 pin should fit in it just fine.

It doesnt matter is theres a spare pin on the cpu header, just plug it in anyway

Terry, was the Noctua NH-U12P easy to fit.

Ignore how hard everyone says it was took me about 5 mins if that read the instructions
and make sure the butterfly things are facing out.
Btw temps now 28-36 from 55-65 and its so silent i cant even hear it.
bought a real power M520 as well thats also super silent.
(can connect 8 sata drives)
i didnt realise i had to have the TV on so loud to hear.

i should have taken pics of the install if u get stuck send me a pm

Thanks Terry, I'll do that then, if you don't mind, I'm deciding wether or not to get a new case, but when I'm installing the cooler I'll contact you.
Thanks

Really easy to install and runs silent (i am on 1366 chipset)

Really impressive fans - I bought a couple more for case cooling - really can not fault it.
