Here's the deal. I bought a Cooler Master Masterfan Pro 120 RGB. This particular rgb fan has a 4-pin rgb mobo connector but my mobo doesn't have an rgb header and my (bequiet Pure Base 600) case has a 3-pin fan power connector. Are there any adapter's out there or do I need to exchange? I reeeally don't want to exchange but will if I have to.

Case: FN POP XL

CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K

CPU Cooler: Fractal Design Celsius S36 360mm AIO

Mobo: 

GPU: Geforce RTX 3090 Founders

RAM: Corsair Vengence 128gb

PSU: Focus 1000w

SSD: Sansdiskssd240gb

HDD: Hitachi 2TB

Keyboard: Corsair K55 RGB

Mouse: Corsair Harpoon

I thought RGB fans had one lead for the LEDs and another for the spinning part? 

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

Then you can use the fan just fine and get an external RGB hub of some sort
