I think I might have a problem
There are 2 cables on the fan, one has four pins, the other has four holes, the psu however doesn't have anything that would go into the one with the four holes, what am I supposed to do? Just leave the one with the holes open?

Also, I've got quite a few four hole cables left, should I just hide them or is that dangerous?
wouldn't you plug that one into the motherboard?
Can't find anything on the motherboard that would fit it.

I'm using a GA-970A-D3 Gigabyte Motherboard if that helps

Go look on your motherboard, there should be few texts saying "CHA_FAN" with a number.
Just plug it into one of them.

I guess four pins wasn't the most descriptive thing in the world, 4 hole peripheral power cable is more descriptive, My problem is that it has a recepticle connected directly to the fan as well as a 4 (not really pins, nubs) which fit the ones coming from the PSU.
So what I'm left with, is connected to my fan, one input and one output 4 pin peripheral cable, the input connected to my PSU, the output just dangling there uselessly with nothing to connect to.
There's also no CHA_FAN by the way, there's a PWR_FAN, but my case fan doesn't connect to it at all.
I'm guessing you mean a molex connector.

If the fan is being powered by the board it's fine to leave it unplugged. They are just there to use in case you've run out of slots on your motherboard.
Your thread title sounds like the start to a really awful story.
