I got a 4930k and a corsair H110 which I am turning into a push pull config. I just ordered the rampage IV black edition and wanted to use noctua NF A14 PWN but noticed they are 4 pin. They do have 3 pin noctua NF A14 FLX should I get those instead for my push pull config? Are 4 pin only for cpu fans? Would it handle 4 of them? I am not looking to change rpm of fans I want them running at max speed at all times. Which ones should I get and why for my h110?

pin fans are just like 3 pin fans with speed control (PWN Controlled fans) added via. fourth pin (2pins for elecrtic supply,one for sense and fourth for controlling the speed).
Getting the 4-pin fan is better as if you think the fan is too loud it can help you in that case (you can map the fan speed with component temps) otherwise if you have no worry about acoustics and mapping temps to RPM go for 3-pin solution.

If you run out of 4pin headers than its useless buying 4pin fans,,, go for 3pin then (unless you can buy a add on fan controller.)
