Hi. I am confused about the support of the cooler on a motherboard. What is the 4pin connector(cpu fan)? How to know that my motherboard supports the cooler which is cooler master hyper tx3 evo? Do my motherboard must have 4 pin slot of the cooler fan connector? Can i just connect the 4pin connector of the hyper tx3 cooler fan to the slot at my motherboard that i just connected for my stock cooler?
Does all motherboards support all cooler?

Almost all motherboards (except some proprietary ones) support the same four-pin CPU fan connector.
However, the physical mounting points may be different - the cooler needs to support the motherboard's CPU socket. Most coolers support most sockets, but you might have trouble with cheap coolers and high-end boards (e.g. LGA2011), or really old boards (LGA775 or earlier).

You can check the cooler web sites... most of the better cooler manufacturers do compatibility lists. Avoid putting $25 coolers on $500 boards as support and attention to providing brackets will be minimal.

The fan plugs into the CPU-1 connector (or CPOU if you have only 1) on your MoBo. See MoBo manual for location. Most compatibility issues come from MoBo heat sinks and RAM.

If the manufacturer doesn't publish the data Noctua does / CM doesn't) ... then no one will be in a position to answer that question unless they have tried it themselves on that MoBo.
I had no luck searching on " Asus M2N68-am Phenom ii X4 955 Black Cooler Master TX3 EVO" or " Asus M2N68-am Cooler Master TX3 EVO"
