Most can be controlled by software. Usually the BIOS is in charge, but 
programs can also alter the fan speed. This is useful for more advanced 
monitoring programs like SpeedFan.

My system at home has 4 fan ports on the motherboard (3 case, one CPU, 
the CPU and 2 of the case fans can be controlled by PWM)
