I'm looking at aftermarket tower type air cooler for Intel 9400F. All the fans I've encountered thus far are having only 3 pins. Do they come in 3 pin only, or I'm not seeing them somehow?

The aftermarket cpu cooler fan should have either 3-pin or 4-pin. But don't matter which one, or your MB has 3-pin or 4-pin fan header, check the link for how to plug it in. Keep in mind, if the fan or the fan_header is the 3-pin one, you can't control the fan speed by the PWM, but you can control the speed by the voltage. https://vjauj58549.i.lithium.com/co...F8E1EC34080C415/image-size/large?v=1.0&px=999
Motherboard (ASRock B360M-HDV) has 4 pin CPU_FAN socket. No idea why there weren't any 4 pin coolers that day. I had to exclusively type the product name to reach the page. Anyways, I bought the Cooler Master Hyper 410R (it's the only one with red LED). Thanks guys for the help.
If you don't mind and have the time, share how good the cooler was please. You can do this by running something like Cinebench R15 or R20 and reading temps with hwinfo portable - sensors only option.
