The fourth pin allows for fan speed control. This is not necessary on Zalman heatsinks because they include the FanMate2 for fan control.

Let's say if one does not like the "FanMate2," can one just plug the (very same three-pin connector as the FanMate) fan DIRECTLY into the CPU_FAN connector and live happily without the fancy fan-speed-control?

Honestly, if it works just as well in cooling without FanMate2, what's the point of continuous adjustment via a knob?

I've seen it as an option is the BIOS. That did apply to all MB connected fans though. The 3 pin and 4 pin fans control speed differently, so it's not quite as simple as swapping one for the other.
