Hi, I am planning to go with Asus ROG Hero VII which has:
2x CPU fan headers (4pin with PWM) and 4x Case Fans (4 pins without PWM). Apparently motherboard controls the fans with voltage. I have few questions with regards to that:
What is the difference between PWM and 4 Pin Voltage Controlled Header?
If I would like to add extra fan to the motherboard is there any splitter for that? (I would like to have all fans controlled)
How does the motherboard control fans (I.e. does it adjust speed to temperatures in case? Does it have any sensors ??
For the voltage controlled fans do I need them to be PWM?
After some more google time,,, Im not 100% sure that the Impact fan headers (exept the CPU one) are PWM,,, due to not able to change in UFEI from DC to PWM..
Hopefully the ASUS gurus in here will provide the answer for Impact?? ASUS really needs to correct the manuals!!...
The bios has qfan tuning for all attached fans and once you get into windows it still will work however you can run ai suite 3 and further tune the fans to your individual preferences.

Corsair 750D... Natel I am not sure - some people say that Maximus Hero VII has 2x Pwm (CPU and CPU OPT) and 4x Case "fake" 4 pin headers that use voltage control.. which means that PWM wouldn't be so great..
When I look at motherboard specification the CPU header has: Gnd, CPU PWR, CPU Fan In and CPU fan PWM
But the case header has: Gnd, Case Fan Pwr, Case Fan in and +5v .. People call it the fake 4-pin fan header.. I am not sure what is the role of it if the +5v is actually fixed..
