I have a question regarding this cable:

Akasa AK-CB423-ADPT 4 - 3pin adapter cable - Link

I currently have 5 of these fans:

Sharkoon Silent Eagle SE Modular 120mm Fan - Link

I will be using these 5 fans though this fan speed controller:

NZXT Sentry LX LCD Fan Controller - Link
-------------------------------------------------

My question is will the cable above make my five fans work with a 3 pin fan controller? I am unsure of this as I'm not sure where the power is coming from, the 3 pin connector or the 4 pin molex. As a fan controllers normally feed the fans the electricity they need i don't want to blow the system.

I have on other question regarding the molex cables. When you have a set few with the PSU and apply 4 pin molex splitters how many can you use on one molex outlet from the PSU?

The power will be coming from the 4 pin molex, and it can support large amounts of fans (I've read up to 20 fans). The 3 pin allows tach adjusting/monitoring and does not supply any power at all.

What supports 20 fans the cable or the controller? I thought the controller only supported 5 fans.
 
If I was just to connect the fans direct to a molex splitter how my splitters can I have off one main 4 pin molex feeding from the PSU? I know there going to run at full speed all the time but i will be overclocking anyway so i would have had them cranked up ether way.
