Are you going to need anything for the 3 speed fan controller to work?

If you're going with a new motherboard, the speed can be controlled in bios. Or, there is a cable/ switch in the case that controls the modes, allowing automatic speed control depending on the computers work load.

Just plug the molex power connector from the fan controller to your Power Supply. The fans come pre connected as far as I remember.

I didn't use the case controller but instead installed a separate LCD controller...mainly just to fill another bay and have the controller at my finger tips. The best option is the MB controller, which I have but didn't use.

No it just lets you connect multiply fans to 1 usb header. They work well it is usually needed if you have lots of fans but only a few usb fan connect spots on your mother board. Note fan speeds are controlled by cpu load or fan controller on some later cpu chips. The 2 fans connected to this will run at the same speed.

Yes, it will work, controls 3 fan speeds and if a light is on your fan allows you to dim it, but most importantly , since it is about $44.00 and it is made for the fan you have it would make sense to stay with that brand

You need still need to buy another power connector to make the connection. As for the fan having speed control it does not for that model.

It is three pins connecter 2 pins for the power connecter, and the other one is for the fan control speed

There are 2 connectors. You should really get a fan controller or something of the sort. Two fans won't cut it. I have 10 in mine but that is all personal preference.

As I recall, the fan has a three pin connector. If that works with a fan controller then I suspect it will work.

The short answer is no. You may be able to get it to work but I'd advise against it. Here's the long answer: I bought two of these fans during construction of our new house and had hoped to run them both off one controller. The electrician who wired the house connected both fans to a "universal" fan controller, the kind that fits inside the wall box like a light switch. One fan would work pretty well but the other fan would only jerk as though it were trying to start but couldn't. The electrician then tried a similar controller that was supposed to control multiple fans. They both worked better but made noise. About this time I dug up the instructions for both the fans and the controllers. The fan instructions specifically say "To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid state fan speed control device, or variable speed control". The controller's instructions said "CAUTION: To avoid overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not use to control receptacles, fluorescent lighting fixtures, or transformer-supplied appliances". We then tried running both fans with one of the supplied transformer type speed controls and that didn't really work either. We finally decided that we don't really mind the "vintage" appearance of the supplied controllers. In fact my wife actually likes the way they look. Because they stand out from the wall we mounted them above the switches controlling those circuits (on/off) so they're just above shoulder height and we're less likely to bump into them as we walk down the hall. The fans are great. We still love them and would buy them again. We'd just skip the headache of trying to avoid using the supplied controllers.

Yes but they are low to medium at most RPM so you don't really need a fan controller and actually if you plan to use one, you ought to get different fans capable of higher RPM so you have the ability to do both higher airflow if needed and low airflow when you don't.

Oh YES!! That's exactly what I installed to operate my new fan. It works great! You wont even need the pull chain to operate it, however you will be able to use either. Enjoy!

Yes. The fan's speed will not be controlled by the onboard controller, rather the selection made on the switch. I would imagine the function is limited to the fan's controller b/c should the mobo controller drop the speed, while low/silent is selected, the fan may not receive enough juice to turn. If you're using several fans this is nice b/c even on molex the fans will be functioning at similar speeds w/o purchasing a controller, flipping the 5volt to 3volt or howling at higher rpm's.

The fan speed/direction is set using the remote and the speed/direction remains set each time you turn on the fan unless you change it using the remote. I don't see why it would make any difference if you use a 3-way switch or a single pole switch.

the fan will run automatically when it is powered on, there is no sensor or speed controller. There is no separate switch for the fan. Cooling is not exceptional but decent enough

No. There are only two motors and you will not have the motherboard that controls the unit.

you could plug each fan to the board individually or use the connector that is on the fan speed controller to plug directly to power supply all the fan plugs will junction together but the fans were all run at the same speed

Your chassis fans should connect directly to the controller connectors. If the connections are incompatible you'll need a converter.

No. You get to choose from among 3 distinct speeds. The only drawback to that is that even the slowest speed might push too much air to suit your needs. However, if you want a fan that really "blows" (in the positive sense of the word), this is IT!
