If they are PWM they should be controlled automatically, else you ahve to buy a dedicated fan controller

No, that has nothing to do with pwm. Pwm and voltage can both be automatically controlled and are just different ways of making the fan spin.

Depending on the motherboard, there may be settings to control fan speeds in the bios or through software in Windows like SpeedFan.

They are just regular blue corsair Af140 fans so I'm pretty sure I'll need a fan controller. Is there a fan controller you recommend by any chance?
