Windows 7 Can't connect cooling fan

[asafaq]

I have a plain 80mm fan with MOLEX connector (And an extender) and a motherboard with 3-Pin connector. The two don't connect. What am I missing aside from a brain?

A 3 pin to molex connector.....lol. I've order from these guys and not had a problem. Just to a quick google search for "3 pin to molex" and a plethora of sites pop up.

4-pin Molex to 3-Pin Female Socket Cable Adapter Sleeved [4FAN3PIN] : Performance-PCs.com, ... sleeve it and they will come

Oh, sweet. I searched a lot but nothing came up. Thanks.

If you have an extra empty molex plug off the PSU you can plug it directly into the PSU that way.

Doesn't work. It means it borked right? I already have 2 ordered and shipping in.
