Happy to help... I realized the links are not clear regarding the two types of adapters, clarified below.  I have found the ModDIY.com company to be good to order from, and with good quality products.  You do have to be patient but that gets you very reasonable shipping across the world.  Here are those two adapters... for this project you want the top one:

 

The one you WANT ... This cable allows you to connect a HP 6-Pin CPU heatsink fan's plug end to a 5-Pin Fan header on the HP motherboard.  For example, to connect a HP Z440 high surface area high performance 6-Pin CPU heatsink's fan to a HP Z4's 5-Pin motherboard CPU Fan header port.

The one you DON"T WANT  ... This cable allows you to connect your HP 5-Pin CPU Fan to the 6-Pin Fan header on the HP motherboard.  To connect a HP Z4 5-Pin CPU fan to the HP Z440 6-Pin CPU Fan header port. https://www.moddiy.com/products/HP-Computer-CPU-Fan-5-Pin-Male-to-6-Pin-Female-Cable-Fan-Conn-Adapte...
