Is it 4-pin connector (molex) have 2-wires & fan like connector only 1 wire?

if that so;
4-pin molex provide full 12V power from PSU, so full speed according to it's spec.
Fan connector-like provide speed reading only.

You have to mod the 4-pin either convert to 7V/5V (fixed speed) or change to 3p/4p fan connector & connect to your fan controller for control the speed.

Should be PWM & speed reader. You can control the speed thru motherboard, provide that your motherboard have the 4-pin fan header.

That fan controller adjust speed using voltage, not PWM.
