WITH this you can connect direct to PSU (fan spin at full speed all the time though)

With this you can connect two fans to the same header on the motherboard (both fan spin at the same speed...better)

the first is called a 4pin to molex adapter and the second is called a fan splitter...they maybe have a more scientific name for them but i'm not sure but you should be able to find them easily...
