Will there be a difference between this noctua fan controller and this silverstone one?

Hi, guys

I'm a bit new to fan controllers and air cooling.

I ordered 4x 140mm NF A14 fans
https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-Bearing-NF-A14-iPPC-3000-PWM/dp/B00KFCRF1A

I want to use these fans with a fan controller. My goal is to crank these fans turn up during games, and then lower the fan speeds while I surf or use the PC.

This Silverstone fan controller has ports for 4x 4 pin PWN fans
https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-...ontroller&qid=1594583779&s=electronics&sr=1-1

This Noctua fan controller has support for 3x 4 PWN fans
https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NA-FC...ontroller&qid=1594583919&s=electronics&sr=1-2

I like the Noctua, but it only has support for 3 fans when I need 4.

I just want to be able have complete control over the fans. I think that's the main thing I am looking for. I'm sure if there is a difference between the Silverstone and Noctua (besides the Silverstone supporting more fans).

Thank you.

The Silverstone isn't any kind of controller. It's simply an 8-way splitter.

What's wrong with the mainboard's own fan controls?

What motherboard do you have? Did you run out of fan headers? Do you have other fans in the system as well?

The silverstone lets you control multple fans with 1 motherboard fan header. The Noctua requires you to manually adjust your fans with a knob.

Looks like the Noctua can do both PWM control as well as manual.

I have the Silverstone but my motherboard's 4 pin fan header wasn't allowing any control, just ran at full speed, so I went with a Corsair Commander Pro since I had some Corsair Lighting stuff I was going to use in the case.

Really? I can control my pwm fans with my mobo software.

Your be able to control them. even using just pwm should throttle up as you temps start to rise.. no reason for a jet plane until you need it
