Case Fans Advice

I have an asus z270f which I believe only has 4 pin pwm/dc headers and I'm looking to get new fans with rgb capability. I saw the cooler master mf120 halos but I'm not sure if they would work because it says they are argb. Can anyone tell me if they would work or if there are any alternative fans I could look into?

No, the fans are 3pin 5v argb and wouldn't work without a separate controller. 

4pin 12v rgb fans would work fine with your motherboard. Some examples here: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case-fan/#sort=price&B=34,44&s=120\

 

Keep in mind that 3pin 5v argb and 4pin 12v rgb headers are not the same as 3pin and 4pin fan headers.
