As the title states, I want to know if I can still use the mobo ports for the fans to monitor the speed eventhough I will be using a 5.25" bay fan contoller? This is just a manual fan controller. If so, how?

You can only if you keep the RPM wire hooked to the motherboard.

So that one wire will still function even if the other aren't used? Good deal!!!!!
Than you!

No you still have to put power to the fan. Just think of it this way... there are three wires. Two are for power (+) (-) and one is for RPM. Wire the power lines to the fan controler and the RPM wire to your motherboard. It might get messy but it works.
