What do i do?

I have the NZXT Phantom 410 case and the asus maximus iv gene z mobo.

So iam scrwed right> or is there a adapter out there?

Plug them into the motherbd, they will still work fine. The motherbd is designed to work with 3wire or 4wire connectors.

they dont pug in because they are 3 pins with 3 spikes and on the mobo it 4 pins with 4 spikes so they cant plug into. should i get new fans?

you have the wrong connector. a fan will either have 3/4 pin FEMALE connector or a 4 Pin Molex connector.

if it's 3/4 pin male then u have the wrong end of an extension / adapter.

trace the cable back. start from the FAN and follow the connector.

post pics if u still have problems.
