Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
whats the difference

My best guess is if you connect to motherboard it can monitor rpm and raise/lower when thermal sensors hit threshold. Software monitor fans and so on. PSU its just powered on relaying on inline speed switches or connection to fan controllers.

if you plug your fans into the motherboard, they can be speed controlled by either the mobo iteslef of fan curves. Plugging into the PSU, they just run full bore all the time.

Starfalcon is correct. He just hit a couple of wrong keys
PSU=fans running at full speed all the time. Motherboard=you have control of fans either through fan control options in the bios or software through the operating system. You can also use fan controllers with manual control or pwm control. The controller would plug into the motherboard via a fan header or usb header and could be controlled the same way. preset fan settings through bios or software are often referred to as fan curves.
