There are 3 models of the nf-a12x25, the PWM, the FLX and the ULN.
The PWM has a 4 pin connector, and can be speed controlled (based on temperatures, or other things). The FLX has a 3 pin connector and cannot be controlled, so it runs at the same speed all the time. The ULN is the same as the FLX, but it runs at a lower speed, making it quieter but with worse performance.
You probably want the nf-a12x25 PWM, depending on your motherboard. What motherboard do you have?
