Sctyhe must answer your second question but for your first: yes, Zalman Fanmate or any other fan controller is necessary.
But: some mainboards (not Asus) allow PWM as well as voltage regulation on the CPU fan header - depending on which technology is used (3-pin or 4-pin PWM). Some boards also allow regulation of 3-pin fans via Speedfan software - depends on the chipset.
