and how do i check if it's a 3 pin or a 4 pin fan?

Count the wires coming from the fan.

If it isn't set it to eenabled, and if it is a 4 wire/pin fan set that to PWM.

And no you don't need a driver, drivers don't do anything for bios settings.

so how come i have intel(R)qst on the manual but not on the board itself ?

Download SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer
program to change the speed of the fan but read the instructions carefully

It's quite possible that they removed it in one of the 9 bios updates that board has had since it was released. Would explain why the fan speed went up after you updated the bios if that is the case.

well, somehow the fan went down so i think it's ok now.
thanks !
