Hey guys- I have a NZXT S340 case, and non PWM fans that run at full speed. They are quite loud, so i was thinking of picking up the NZXT Sentry 3 (https://www.amazon.com/NZXT-5-4-Inch-Controller-Cooling-AC-SEN-3-B1/dp/B00KJGYLNM/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1477707793&sr=1-3&keywords=fan+controller) , or this Thermaltake one ( https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Commander-Channel-Controller-AC-010-B51NAN-A1/dp/B00V80IQTS/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1477707793&sr=1-4&keywords=fan+controller). The problem is that i don't think that these are compatible with my case. Is it compatible? If not, is there any other options?

Thanks

The S340 doesn't have a 5.25" bay so you wouldn't have place to install it, you would be better off with something like the NZXT Grid + V2 unit which lets you set custom fan curves.

What headers are you powering the fans off of? You can usually control them from your motherboard fan headers.
