So, when looking deeper into my motherboard, it turns out that my computer has 4 pins, and the fans that I got, https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Standard-Cooler-Configuration-possible/dp/B002QVFN7G/ which only has 3 pins... Is there any way to turn a 3 pin to a 4 pin? Like an adapter of some kind?

You can plug a 3 pin fan into a 4 pin header. Just use three of them. If it doesnt work the first time, use the other side of the plug.
