Ok i braught 3 of these fans originally i was goignto hook them up to a fan controller but now realsie its not needed. How ever the fans are 4 pin not 3 pin will i need any special wires, adaptors or anything or will these come with motherboards or a power supply ?.

I will be gettign the UD% board most likely and a corsaor 850w mudular power supply and dont want to be left having no way to connect the fans.

They wont go in the 3 pin wires clearly as they are not wide enough to fit any so im loking for just an adaptor for 3 pin or something to attach tomy power supply that can take 2 of 3 most likely 2 fans then put the other 1 in a single 1. But just need to know if i need to order anything in now so im not stuck waiting for parts when i set up my pc.
 
I will be getting a intel 1 and they for sure wont fit in the fan controller 3 pins as its to wide. i guess if its a male adaptor without the bitso n the side it will work but i just need to know make sure if i do ive got 3 of these 4 pin or 3 pins where the side plastic bits wont get in the way :). I seen how to connect up to the 4 pins with 3 pin but not when its got the sides.
 
i have three of these fans, 2 on cpu & 1 on side of case, they deffo fit the 3 pin connectors. as Beep says.
1 pin hangs over & can only go on one way

Do the wire to conect this come from h power supply or the motherboard tho ? its 100% impossible with the wires that come with the fan controller as they wont fit in. so is it wirs you get with the motherobard or psu ?.
