# no little adapter
its a bit odd as its got the locating lugs for 3pin
'New: The PWM chip in the motor allows an exact fan speed control via BIOS. (4 wire)' it says...
does that mean I don't have to use the 4th? I'm so confuzzled :(

# That's exactly it.
The fourth pin is for speed control. If your fan doesn't have speed control it will only have three pins.
Stick it on - it'll only fit one way.

EDIT: Ah, just re-read, yours is the other way round - I say go for it, it should be fine.
