Yes, all headers support both PWM and DC fans.

Hello
And as I stated above full control of both PWM and DC mode fans are supported on all fan headers for Z97. There really was no reason for the confusion with Z87. The fan header pinout specifications clearly showed pin 4 PWM control for the CPU fan header only. All other included fan header pinouts had pin 4 at 5V. Armed with this info one should know that PWM functionality was limited to the CPU fan header only.

Just as praz said the new 97 boards support both pwm or voltage control on all fan headers, although if the board has a CPU_opt it may be just a mirror of CPU_fan again if that's what you were referring to
Vi series rog or 87 boards only the CPU fan header has pwm the CPU opt is just a mirror of CPU fan and the rest are voltage controlled, again as praz said
If fans are a concern for you on a build you can always look into a fan controller like a lamptron, should be more then enough to fix most concerns towards fans

Alright; it's a shame Asus hasn't added "true" PWM headers to the Z97 lineup ;_;

Hello
All fan headers on the Z97 boards are "true" PWM as well as having the option of voltage control for 3 pin fans. I'm not sure how many more different ways there is to state this. Hopefully this is now clear unless you are asking something different than what we are reading.

Hi Praz I have a question is it possible to use any of the fan headers or the CPU_OPT or the CPU_header to control a PWM pump like the Swiftech MCP-655 PWM pump if not what would be the best option to control the pump speed using a temp probe on my VGA card water loop. I was going to use the temp sensor connector on the Maximus vii hero's motherboard to connect a temp probe on the water loop and use the motherboard temp sensor to control one of the fan headers hooked to the pump's PWM lead. is this possible???? hope I'm not confusing everyone but I need to know if this will work if not then I will have to go different route !!!
