Do I need to have 4-pin 12V connector to power up my motherboard?
Will it still boot without it?

you could always look at the manual for the board.
i assume your 'DFI NF4 sli-Dr' is what DFI call the 'NF4 SLI INFINITY '
from page 53 of the manual:
so yes. the 4 pin header is required and an odditional molex connector into the board is also recomendedUse a power supply that complies with the ATX12V Power Supply
Design Guide Version 1.1. An ATX12V power supply has a standard
24-pin ATX main power connector and a 4-pin +12V power
connector that must be inserted onto CN10 and CN9 connectors
respectively.
The 4-pin +12V power connector enables the delivery of more
+12VDC current to the processor’s Voltage Regulator Module
(VRM).
The 5V/12V power connector is an additional power connector. If
you are using two graphics cards, we recommend that you plug a
power cable from your power supply unit into the 5V/12V power
connector. This will provide more stability to the entire system. The
system board will still work even if the additional power connector is
not connected.
And don't forget the floppy drive connector!

actually yeah, it is a floppy style connector not a molex it recomends
