Hello guys i have a hp 8767 and im looking to install extra fans

So I have two pins on my motherboard

One 3 pin for chassis fan

One 4 pin for cpu cooler fan

Now im looking to install a fan, I recently bought a 4pin fan

But im wondering something, all fan splitters split the 4 pin into 1x 4pin and 2x3 pin

The only one 4 pin is going to the cpu cooler

Can I use the 3 pin for my new 4 pin fan

And one more thing

Im not sure how many sata ports I have

I have a had plugged in 

I may want to use the sata port to connect to the fan but it depends

My pleasure.

 

Thanks for the image in your response.

 

The SATA power to fan cables shown in your image would not work with your PC.

 

Your PC's power supply does not provide a daisy chained SATA power cable which is needed to provide power to the fan cables in your image.

You should be able to connect the female four pin splitter cable to the 3 pin MB fan header.

 

Then connect the three pin fans or four pin fans to the fan splitter cable.

 

MB SATA headers are data connections. 

 

You would not connect fans to MB SATA headers.

 

Three Baker MB SATA headers are highlighted in red:

 thank you for your response

By the sata thing I meant these

Would these work

If no, then the fan splitters will suffice, thanks for your time
