Not sure if they are molex connected or 3 pin. Over the last 5 or 6 years fan technology has come on in leaps and bounds

That's not a benefit. The point of the fan is to cool the motherboard, not itself, so it's the motherboard temperature not the fan's temperature that's important. It's useful (marginally) only if you don't have controllable outputs on your motherboard, but even then a splitter on the CPU output is a better idea.

Not if you had a decent PSU. 80mm fans use 1-2w each.
