In your picture, PWM is selected because it has the brighter text. ASUS motherboards typically use PWM for better fan control. Adding more fans is great for airflow, but double-check your motherboard manual for supported fan headers and amperage limits.

As above, PWM is highlighted so is currently selected. The board should auto-detect fan type. PWM are preferable over DC fans because they allow for more precise and efficient speed control.
