3 Case fans, Only 2 on Mobo

Does anyone know what type of connectors would be useful for connecting a 4pin to molex. I've seen 3 pin to 4pin molex but are there any 4pin to just molex connectors? I can't seem to find any so some help would be great.

It's a mATX board MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 FM2 and the case I'm doing the build in is Silverstone Tek Micro-ATX PS07

So you just want to run the fans off the PSU? If so just pull the pins and connect the first 3 to a 3pin connector so you can connect it to any of those 3pin to molex adapters. All you really need is the 12v and ground pins from the fan, the other 2 are just rpm monitors for PWM and wont do anything connected to the power supply.

Thanks I read about doing something like that so I guess I'll just have to go for it
