Hi there! Today I started cleaning my pc when I remembered my parents had an old and broken PC from the 90's. So I opened it for fun and I found it had some shit I could make use of, including the system fan. The thing is, the conector of the fan (4 pins-1 pin like covered up by a plastic I removed) doesn't do anything when I plug the thing to the motherboard, and I was wondering if anyone knows a way of making it work, cause you know, more air flow is always better

Ty! Instead of doing weird things in old pins, looking at the image, I just turned the conector and move it two pins to the side, and it works!
