The speed control range of a 4-pin PWM fan is much larger, usually in the low hundreds (like 400rpm) up to the max speed of a fan (usually from 1200rpm to 2000rpm).Ĥ system fan headers means you could connect 4 case fans without splitters. A 4-pin fan is called a PWM fan - the speed is controlled by a essentially cycling the power to the fan rapidly. The speed control of a 3-pin fan is typically very limited - typically only a few hundred RPM from minimum to maximum. 3-pin means the fan is controlled by the voltage being applied to it. Fans will generally have either a 3-pin or a 4-pin connector. System fan connections are to power the spinning fan. This will help you find an answer without having to wait for a response.
