Theyve got different max rpm and i was wondering if they wouldnt go crazy because of that. My motherboard has only one case fan header

depends what your fan curve will be 

If its something that only maxes out at around 70 then it should be fine

Also it should be based on percentage of a fan, not based on the rpm, so they should all scale together

Noctua fans are really quiet tho so i wouldn't worry too much

My case has got a built in pwm controller. I wanted to buy 3 noctua nf-a12x25 and one nf-s12a on the back. Theyve got different max rpm and i was wondering if they wouldnt go crazy because of that. My motherboard has only one case fan header
