pwm case system fan

I've got a sys fan 4 pin socket on my new mobo (foxconn p35a) as well as the cpu one.
Is this the sort of fan I need ?

Are there any other makes or cheaper ones?

And would it be ok to run 2 fans from the same socket?

Lastly this is my first post, so hello everybody

BTW great forum, I based my PC upgrade around recommendations I found, and alls well (so far

)

Thing is I want the case fan speed to be controlled so less noise.
Its never clear from all the online shops what type of fan it is :confused:

Thats what I want to do, so are the arctic fans the right type?

Well I finally got a 4 wire fan, connected it to the sys fan header and then found that theres no settings in the bios to control it

So what is the point of having a sysfan header :confused:

Try using Speedfan from within Windows.

Took you 2 years to get a fan?

Oh and Foxconn have just replied to my query, you can't control the sys fan with the p35a mobo.
Glad I didn't buy the fan, it was only someones spare
