Fan Controller Help Needed!
3 pins: Regular DC fan, can either be run at a set speed, or some motherboards (e.g ASUS) can control them by changing the voltage.
4 pins: PWM fans, all fans receive the full 12V and a separate signal is used to set speed. If your fan controller or motherboard has 4 pin headers, PWM fans are a better choice, as you can set things like fan curves.
For fan controllers, NZXT has a new software one out (I think it's called grid+), and corsair are apparently working on a new link software module.
NB: the NZXT one only supports 3 pin fans
EDIT: Looks like your mobo is similar to the VII Formula I'm getting, you have 3 4pin PWM headers on the mobo. Each header supports 12W, so using splitters, you could have software control basically for free, with 3 zones of control.
You could also get the ROG front base, for manual control of the mobo headers.
