Using a 3-pin fan connector on a 4-pin header on the motherboard is generally compatible. The fan will operate normally, receiving power and a ground connection, but it won't be able to utilize the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) feature provided by the fourth pin. This means the fan will run at a constant speed rather than adjusting dynamically based on temperature, which may affect cooling efficiency.
