Forgive, I'm sure this has been asked and million times, but I couldn't find anything. I've got a bunch of Panaflo FBK-08A12M 80mm fans. They are 2 pin fans. Is there an adapter to make them three pin, so I can replace my other cheapy case fans? What's the best, cheapest and easiest way to get these to work?

Thanks!

Will they fit on the fan header like they are? If not just cut off the little key thing on the fan connector and plug it in. The third wire is just for monitoring the fans speed. Just make sure you're using the correct pins on the board.
 
Ya any knife should be able to easily cut the bumps of the connector. Then plug it into the motherboard header. Just make sure you plug it into the right side of the three pin connector (Not the RPM monitoring pin)
 
Cool, didn't' know it should be that simple. I'll give that a try.

Thanks!
