You don't need any adapters. You just plug them in.

Well that isn't fan related. What mobo and fans you are using anyway, and is CPU fan connected to CPU header?

Thats splitter or extension. Why even post it?

It's a splitter but it was just the first one on overclockers. Plus it's pretty.

Look at the picture, one input, 3 outputs.

CPU: R5 3600 @ 4.4 GHz

RAM: 16GB DDR4 @ 3200 MHz

GPU: RTX 2080 Super

Still don't understand why post it. Question was how to connect 3pin fans to 4pin headers.

Well it's the same as what I used to fix the same problem so surely it's worth a post?

They don't work in any header? And pump is working?

I have a manta Mini ITX case which comes with a fan connector board on the back which I have connected the three fans to it and then the PWR extension cable which is 4 pin to the motherboard

This is my setup : 

 

You have the 3 3pin fans connected and then the four pin connector which is connected to mobo no fans work. Have I done this right

Plug the hub into your cpu_fan or another 4pin pwm header.

Is there a cable for the hub that connects to the psu? It should come with one and it's what provides power to the fans.
