Yes they can. They have a 3 pin connector.

I believe they can be plugged into the mobo header, but that's cutting it a bit close on voltage... especially on start up. Any way of getting the specs of your mobo headers? Not all are rated for the same voltage.

Just because they have a 3 pin doesn't mean they can be safely plugged into the motherboard. My San Ace fan has a 3 pin, i plugged it into a header...the header no longer works now lol.

Just drop EVGA an E-mail or ask on their fourms. I'm sure someone with the info will let you know.

Oh it won't hurt the fan...just makes a bit of smoke out of the header.

Well a fan header will usually allow for some sort of speed control and monitoring.
