Hello Jean :)
I already replied to this but just realised I am controlling a 3-wire
S-Flex SFF21E fan
(http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/acc/002/sflex_detail.html) on a
4-wire port on an ASUS P8H76-V motherboard (works on both CHA_FAN and
CHA_FAN2).
If the 4-pin fan header is regarded as a 3-pin header with an extra pin
then the unconnected pin is the extra pin.
Perhaps ASUS have used an unconventional pinout ... ?
Best
Charles
