Hi all, I hope this is posted to the correct forum. I'm a bit of a noob!

Essentially, I have a CPU ARGB fan that I want to use, I don't care about controlling it or changing its lights, I just want it to turn on. My motherboard has 4-pin RGB plugs and my fan is ARGB with 3 pins. Can I just buy this adapter ---LINK--- which converts the 3 pin to a 4 pin RGB cable and just plug that directly into the motherboards RGB slot? This is the only lit up component for my build so I don't really want to buy an RGB hub controller. Will my solution work?? Thank you!
