Default making 4pin to 3pin adapter?

I was wondering how to make a 4pin to 3pin adapter. from what i've gathered on the net, would this be the right procedure:

4pin molex (female)
(yellow, blk, blk, red)
12v, gnd, gnd, 5v

3pin (female)
(blk, red, yellow)
gnd, 12v, rpm

do i just match up the 12v and gnd

Code:
4pin            3pin

12v¯¯¯¯¯\/¯¯¯¯¯¯gnd
gnd_____/\______12v
empty           empty
empty
the X represents the cross as 12v & gnd lines are different on the 4pin vs 3pin.

this is what i thought but a picture at svc shows different (12v --> gnd, gnd-->12v. 4pin -> 3pin)
