Hello !
Basically I'm building a computer that uses the Rosewill Blackhawk MidTower case

The case comes with 5 fans. I'm planning to use the Nzxt Sentry 2 to control them

One of the fans is 3 pin, which plugs in fine into the 3 pin connector on the controller.

The rest of the fans however are look like this:

And they look like this from the back

I'm wondering if they will connect fine into the fan controller which has this:

Basically, are the fans compatible with the fan controller?
 
Solution
You missed the point of the explanation: The first two pins/wires are for power and grounding. That is all that is needed for the fan to operate. It should be that you will only be missing out on RPM readings.

The thing is that the fan controller plugs into the fan using 2 pins, not 4
