my fan is a 3 pin fan plugged into a 4 pin connector on the mobo

3 pin doesn't allow you to do speed control, even when plugged into the 4 pin of your mobo. Therefore, the 3 pin fan will always run at the maximum speed. If your fan is getting slow, either it is going to spoil, or the fan header on your mobo is faulty. In order to control the fan speed of a 3 pin, you will have to manually assign a voltage to the fan controller.
