Readynas Pro 6 (OS 6) Fan Control with Noctua System Fan stops

Thanks. I'm aware of discussion about the PSU fan wiring and also about the CPU fan needing to be a four pin, but I *thought* the Crown system fan is a 3-pin and so is this Noctua and I thought that this means they would be a standard connection and interchangeable? Can we confirm/deny whether the Crown/Noctua are interchangeable?
The strange thing here is that the system runs just fine, but - inexplicably - either just after boot, or a few hours (or days) after boot, the fan will stop. It seems like something in software must be changing and - once changed - only a reboot will fix it.
