I have taken this out of a article from ctrl-alt-del.com. You can read it for yourself: http://www.the-ctrl-alt-del.com/2001/Review/Maab/WBK38vsMIICopper/page2.htm
"... it[heatsink fan] comes with a 3 to 4 pin connector so that you can connect directly to the power supply. I strongly recommend using this as many motherboards cannot crank out over 3watts of juice through the FAN connector. Also, there are possibilities of damaging your board if you do so."
I have never heard this before. Anyone care to comment?
