So i just got this case and seen it has a fan controller, now im not so hot in this area, the controller only accepts 3pin fans and the case comes with 3 of them, i will have 3 Noctua fans all of which are 3 pin also. Now it says to conect the controller to the CPU PWM header, im not sure how this will work. If say im playing a game thats hammering my graphics card and is sitting at 90c but my CPU is sitting at 30c and barely being taxed will the fans speed up? Im not sure how any of this works, i have never had PWM fans before and im really lost, can someone explain?

Another question, would getting new fans that are all PWM be better and going straight top my motherboard? I want a REALLY quiet system, thats my goal.
 
Ok so i tried to use it and i find it just terrible, maybe im doing something wrong but it runs the fans WAY too fast, not only that but its constantly ramping them up and then back down, again maybe im doing something stupid but it came with no instructions. I set a fan profile in my bios and when the fans are plugged into my motherboard fan headers it works so well but the fan controller doesnt seem to follow the profile.
