Vantec 80mm tornado and thermaltake fan speed controller?

I bought a vantec tornado and a thermaltake fan speed controller, hoping that I can hook both together in order to reduce the noise, but I neglected to notice that the vantec tornado uses a 4 pin power connector direct to the PSU... the thermaltake fan connector uses the 3 pin molex connector to connect fans to the adjustable resistor before connecting to the psu....

Obviously, I can't connect them together, but I was wondering, if I were to desolder the wires of the tornado from the 4 pin connector and re-attach them to a 3 pin molex, would that work? Could I potentially burn out the resistor of the fan controller by doing this?
 
I have one already, but that doesn't solve the problem.... I need a 4 pin to 3 pin adapter, which is the exact opposite... can't seem to find one anywhere tho....
 
The Vantec Nexus comes with the '4pin-3pin connectors' if you need them. The Nexus is also a better fan controller than the TT one.
