Buy a molex to multi-fan header or SATA to multi-fan header depending on what you have available off the PSU to power it.

 

Can by either a splitter or HUB but the hub needs 1 header on the mobo (Im not sure I haven't tried my hubs without this...it may just power up fully from the SATA power only) examples:

Im sure there is a way to wire up a molex header from the PSU with some bare metal, cover it in electrical tape and hope for the best as all you need is power and ground (from what I understand which isn't much) However I am only so jank and haven't done anything like that myself.

 

Shop around, a fan splitter can be found on sale for $1 shipped, and I have purchased many hubs for $7 shipped or less.

 

You could also purchase a motherboard fan header splitter so as not to only limit yourself to PSU capable options.

Splice the red and black wire from fan1, cut and soldier those to the red and black wires from fan2, don't connect the yellow or white wire from both fans (it's the RPM sense wire).

 

Plug your 1 connector (with 2 fans on it) to the motherboard.

 

 

Or, you can buy a molex to 3 pins adapter, or a splitter, like @Tristerin mentioned.

Can't help with that, but what I posted above will work if you connect the correct wires.

???? so your fans are not 3 pin fans ????

That's why I proposed either : soldering the fan wires together (free option), or buying adapters like @Tristerin said.
