Power Splitters, 3pin & 4pin

[JaegerB]

So I bought my new H500P today, and I have three Masterfan pro 120 RGB air balance fans to put in it for exhaust. 

The stock fans it comes with are the two 200mm RGB fans and a shitty stock 140mm.

My motherboard is the X370-F, and it has 3 4 pin chassis fan connectors. These are fine for the masterfan 120s, but I don't know how I'm going to connect my two 200mm fans with 3 pin connectors. 

Do I need some form of adaptor? 

I would appreciate it if someone could let me know what kinds of adapters I need.

 

To recap, 5 fans (three take 4 pin power, 2 take 3 pin power) and three 4 pin Chassis fan connectors.

 

Cheers,

Jaeger

 

EDIT: What about a fan hub?

Thanks, I'll use the fan controller for the masterfans. I haven't been able to find a 4pin to 3 pin adapter on ebay or any australian online stores. Any suggestions?

4 pin means pwm, better control over fanspeed

3 pin means voltage, not much control over fanspeed

you can plug 3 pin into 4 pin, or 4 pin into 3 pin, its best to pair 4 pin with 4 pin and 3 pin with 3 pin (mainly because you don't want to waste a 4 pin header, not because 3 pin works any better on a 3 pin header)

Except when it doesn't.  My motherboard has a 4-pin connector that isn't PWM.  It's the most annoying thing ever.  It made me really mad.  The lowest I can turn a fan down to is 50%.

Oh thanks, I had no idea. Guess I learn something new every day! Ok, so I'll give that a shot. If that's the case, I mightn't actually need a splitter for the 3 pins, since I can plug the fan hub into one of the three chassis fan headers and the two 3 pin fans into the other two chassis fan headers.
