Yes. Some fans are PWM and use 4 pins. There is usually a plastic tab sticking out from board at cpu fan header. Just align the 3 pin connector with it and plug it in on the 3 pins the tab is centered on. The fan will work except not in PWM mode. There may be a setting in bios for the PWM function which should be turned off if using a 3 pin fan.

You can, but fan speed will not be adjustable.
