Regarding Fan speed and its control
Couple of things I didn't get yet, is how 3 pin regulator is different from 4 Pin PWM fans. For example, I have Reeven EUROS RA1225F16C with 3pin having 1600 RPM and RA1225F16C-P with 4-Pin PWM having 500-1600 RPM, these speed figures are mention on Reeven website along with other information.
In AI Suite III, EUROS RA1225F16C can control between 23% to 100% while EUROS RA1225F16C-P can controllable in 33% to 100% range. During my observation, I found 3 pin one did fall as low as 320 RPM while the 4 pin has reached to 620 RPM - the lowest possible.
My question is What is the actual difference between 3 pin and 4 pin then, when I can control both fans via AI Suite III and Fan controller as well? On web, mostly post are saying 4 pin are better controllable, but in what scenario controlling ?
Meanwhile, I should also add another but related question. What is meant by 500-1600 RPM (4 Pin) and 1600 RPM (3 Pin) fans? If i am not wrong, one can max fall to 500 RPM while other one has no limit. right?
As I have both category fans but I am unable to understand the difference other than the lowest limits but why added 4 pin ?.

If you scroll down to bottom you will see the specifications.
I am waiting for replies.
Thanks
