Yes you should.

you'll probably get away with it, given that the board can cope with OCing the high end of the range of processors, that's when the +4 will come into use.

will there be any problem if i connect 4 pin now? also does it make any difference in performance, temp etc? thanks

It'll work just the same, if your copy wanted more power it could take it, but yours won't want that much.
