These case fans have 4 pin molex connectors and I have two unused 3-
pin CHA_FAN connectors on the motherboard (Asus P5N-D).

I tried connecting these fans to the motherboard using a 4-pin to 3-
pin adapter cords which powered up the fans but the RPM is not
registering in the BIOS (it hasn't changed from '0').  Am I missing
something?  I thought these fans with the adapter cords would work
like my CPU fan. You just plug them in they just work. Do I need
special fans or special adapters?   Thanks.
