A 4 pin on the motherboard will natively support a 3 pin fan. The fourth pin allows for pulse width modulation which isn't necessary for the fan to work as intended. Many fan headers are 4 pin in order to support fans that use the feature, so most motherboards will have some 3 pin fans into 4...

Wifi in general is very unstable by online gaming standards. You certainly want to be using an ethernet cable. If your router is too far away or are otherwise unable to run the cable I'd recommend a product like this one...
