some fans can be controlled by the motherboard, which requires more than the GND and power supply wires. If you want, you can chop off the 4 pin to make it 3 pin, but the motherboard may no longer be able to control the speed of the fan. Simply hard wire it in the supply.

they have a 3pin to 4 pin adapter. i know when i ordered my talismoon fan is came with one since the old xenon boards were 4pin but the talismoon was a 3 pin.
