Only use the CPU fan connector on your motherboard for the fan on the heatsink. Don't disconnect it. All of your case fans need to plug into other fan connectors on your motherboard or if you don't have any more, then connect them straight to your powersupply. You might have to get adaptors to make it work, but do NOT leave your CPU without a fan.

Connect it to one of the cables on the psu. You might need an adaptor like this:

But if you say it has 4 pins, it seems like you are trying to connect a CPU cooling fan instead of a regular case fan.
