Couldn't tell you off the top of my head and I don't want to crack open the case rn sooo... I'll look at it tomorrow I guess.

 

If it's 3-pin I'll need a fan controller to do that right? Or is it called a fan hub?

Controller/hub. I see no difference in these. You could also upgrade your fans to PWM if you'd like.

Does anyone have experience with SpeedFan not picking up any fans? It's reading temps just fine for me, but no fans are to be found. Did I miss a step somewhere being the newcomer I am or something?

Silly question, but are your fans connected to an header on the motherboard or directly to the PSU through Molex?

Are they PWM or 3-pin fans? 3-pin fans cannot be controlled through software.
