There are fans that have 4 pin connector (molex) and plugs directly to the power supply.
There are fans w/ 3pin connector but have accompanying molex adaptor for connecting to the power supply.
Fans w/ the 4 pin connector to the motherboard that you need is hardly available. You would have to look for an adaptor or perhaps DIY a conversion.
Why not just use the common fans that plug directly to power supply. If there is no more available 4 pin connection from the power supply, just use something like this:

A 4-pin connects to the powersupply NOT motherboard. Just plug it into the power supply.

Gotta see it ta fix it. some computers are dependant on the case being set returned thoroughly. If the case is eradicated, a grounding touch is broken and characteristic have been given to be reset by utilising having the grounding change accurately set returned. A pass over by utilising capacity of an insignificant sixteenth of an inch can not floor it returned. be constructive the case is replaced properly. Mebba the photographs card is shot. Mebba the RAM sticks are not seated suited. Mebba the reveal screen is 'kaput'. Mebba the buyer is dreamin'. Mebba, mebba, mebba.
