Alright so I have this crappy stock fan that came with my computer and at full speed you can hear it throughout my entire room. I'm looking to replace it with one of these 80mm fans as I have a small case and don't need anything bigger. http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Slim-80mm-Standard/dp/B005C31GIA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
The problem with it is I measured my fan and it is I think it isn't exactly 80mm and it is placed slanted on the heatsink.

I am also not sure of the connection to the mobo. It looks like a 4 pin connector with only 3 pins actually connected, but would a fan with a 3 or 4 pin connection work with it?

So if I get an 80mm fan could I replace it? My fan measured 3 inches on the dime, which isn't exactly 80mm if I'm correct. I measured a whole side from top to bottom. This is my first time dealing with a computers fans so I'm new to it, thanks in advance for any help
