I have a quick question, what is the difference between pwn and non-pwn fan?

only thing I understood from google was that pwn is pulse modulated, but I don't understand how that works for a fan and how is it beneficial over a non-pwn fan. someone care to explain?

There should be no difference really. PWM is usually used for CPU fans and has 4 cables on the header. Most motherboards nowadays should be able to variate the fanspeed via voltage.
