The point is that, fan headers other than CPU may not be true PWM, but they control the fans.

I favor water cooling, obviously. Form a Hyper 212 EVO air cooler to the water cooling, I got a 14C temperature drop at high load (same CPU and TIM, not delidded running the same stress test)). Looking at it the other way, I could crank up the overclock multiplier and voltage until it pulled 20 watts more power for the same temperature. I used 93C temperature just for this test, not 24/7.
I power the pump directly from a PSU molex. The D5 exceeds the 1 amp limit of the MB fan headers. The pump tachometer is connected to a fan header for monitoring. Two radiator fans run through a splitter to an optional fan header that responds to a water temp sensor. My case has three chassis fans. That's five headers. If I were to add a RAM fan, I'd use a temperature sensor stuck in one of the heat spreaders and an optional header controlled by that sensor. That's six headers, including two with added temp sensors. I think the optional temp and fan headers preclude the need for an external controller. If you have multiple radiators for the added load of GPUs, you may need more fans.

4. The Optional headers respond only to their corresponding sensor. The two-pin sensor headers are located right beside the corresponding fan headers. I suggest you download the M6F manual from the Asus support site. The layout diagram shows where these are on the board.
