It will fit (only in one way, so not worries there either).

There is also no other software required, your motherboard will know what to do. You can however set up a different 'fan curve' (when the fans has to move fast or slower, depending on the temperature) if you do not agree on the speed of the fan(s).

I just ordered a CPU cooler, it appears that the fan has a PWM connector.

 

My motherboard's CPU FAN connector has 4 pins, so I assume it'll fit. But does it require any additional software/hardware to make it work properly?
