MSI Z97S Krait Edition fan headers question

Hello! 

 

I just got the mobo in the title for my black-and-white build (sort of. Kind of a re-build, really). The problem is that I can't, for the life of me, find out which of the fan headers on the board are PWM and which are not. They are ALL 4-pin. Does anyone have any experience with it and could help? Thanks!

Also, I have a white Phanteks Enthoo Pro to go with it and I can't decide whether to use the included fan hub or not...

There are two 4 pin PWM headers on the motherboard

Ha, I can't believe I've missed that page. I must be going blind... thanks for the pointer! I'm still a little confused though...
The CPUFAN1/2 headers have the fourth pin labeled as "Speed control". What good is the "NC" labeled fourth pin on the SYSFAN headers then?

could always be that the manufacturer could expand on the board later or use the same layout who knows
