Bare wire as in not connected to anything or no insulation around the wire?

What is the fan for? CPU? Case? 3 wires usually plug into mobo.

heatsink

You can either solder a connector on, or buy a tail from someplace like pcmods.com

My panaflos came with 2 bare wires, but you can pull those off at the connector and replace with one of the tails.

If you gently fold the bare leads of the red(12v I'm assuming) and black(ground) wires, you can jab them right into one of the power supply's molex connectors. Stick red wire into the yellow one on the molex, and black to black. Turn on your PC for a split second to see if this works.
