Asus p5k cpu fan error

I finally installed my new cpu cooler today ( Noctua NH-U9B SE2 ) and went from my old vacuum cleaner fan at 80°C to an ultra quiet 25°C. But when booting up, i get a damn cpu fan error for whatever reason, and i get a few beeps and have to press F1 to continue. Why is that? I connected my new fan to the 3-pin and not the 4-pin, is that the issue? i could try the 4-pin ( the connector head only have 3 holes though ) but i wouldn't wanna risk making my mobo fubar. How do i fix it?
