Fan header question

So I want to buy the GIGABYTE AORUS GA-Z270X-Gaming K7.

It says it has:

1 x CPU fan header
1 x water cooling CPU fan header
2 x system fan headers
1 x system fan/water cooling pump header


I have five case fans. Will the water cooling headers work for a normal case fan? I can't imagine it not, but there has to be a reason why they are called water cooling fan headers. If not I'll have to buy some molex fan connectors.

Thanks for the input.

Yes it should work. In fact, the water pump header gives you more voltage, therefore it shouldn't be any issue at all for connecting a normal fan to it. If you do find the fan that's connecting to that header noisy. Just adjust it within the BIOS.

I already built the computer. I was shy of two headers so I used a 12v molex connector for both case fans.
