1) My power supply fan is 4 pin but my motherboard only has a 3 pin for the power supply fan. I looked around and people said that it was okay to hang off the yellow wire because it just controls fan speed but the fan will run at full speed all the time. Is this correct? And if so is it bad for the power supply to do this?
This is partially correct and I would say that it wouldn`t be such an issue with a better brand of PSU.

Your MBs software is supposed to control your fans so this will be an issue as 1: you will have no control over the fans and 2: there is going to be a lot of demand placed on your PSU which may stress it and cause it to fail.
There are cable adapters available to get around this so I will see what I can find and post back.
