So I bought 3 120MM fans to install in my PC as intakes but I came across a small issue. The fans I got have female 4 pin connectors, and I have no more slots for fans on my motherboard is there a way to turn those female 4 pin connectors into something else usable? If so what the deuce is it called and how much is it?
 
It's called a PWN splitter:

Or if you want to get some more classy/high-tech, get a fan controller with 4 pin fan support like this:

Do note that you technically don't need to connect all four pins to get the fans to spin up. So if you still have 3Pin connectors on your motherboard, IIRC, you just have to connect the first three Pins of the 4Pin fan to the motherboard.
 
^^That's right. All four do not have to be plugged in.
 
Yeah, I just don't have any ports left on my mobo for fans. Glad that cable can have 2 fans hooked to it lol. Will have to buy it post haste.
