You'll need to use fan splitters

Since most fan headers can supply at least 1A, a 2-way splitter is always safe. Check the amperage of the specific fans you plan on using if you want to go with a 3-way splitter. Noctua lists the S12A and A14 as ~0.13A each. Fans with LEDs draw more power.

Yup, that's it.

Also, I forgot to mention that 3 pin fans DO slot into 4 pin headers just fine. They're keyed the same.

Should look like this:

The guides on the fan connector should slide down around the tab on the header. You'll have one pin open.
