hi, i am very new and i see a lot of pc videos. the one thing im quite worried about the case fan controls. i have absolutely no idea about fans. theres stuff about automatic speeds and manual but again... i have no clue. im making my pc and the case im getting is the nzxt s340 elite. what should i do with the fans when the pc is fully made? are they just going to run at a default speed or what? as you can tell, i barely have a clue at what im trying to explain, but if you can give me a brief idea of what to do with case fans and how to get the most performance out of them, that would be great and id appreciate it. thanks for reading and i hope you reply.

Depends if the fans are 4 pin and the headers you plug them into are 4 pin. If they are you can select PWM in the BIOS

For the fans. This case came with 5 fans. They're plugged into 2 4 pin headers with splitters. Only thing is they're 3 pin.

I just changed it to PWM in the BIOS anyway. Cant really hear them
