Yes, addressable. I ended up with a Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240R CPU cooler, with has two A-RGB fans and comes with an A-RGB/RGB controller that goes inside the case.
The ML240R controller had the right ports/cables to set me up. This is what I've got: the three lights from the CPU cooler go via a 3-to-1 argb cable into controller. The case board goes into the controller via another argb cable. The controller goes to a USB 2 mobo header (for future SW control?) and into SATA power. (The controller has three more 3-pin argb ports, two 4-pin rgb ports, and four temperature sensor ports that I'm not using.) The controller has buttons for mode/color/speed/argb-rgb switch, and controls the case lights well. I'm fairly happy with this setup, and I believe I've read somewhere that Cooler Master is adding SW controls for controllers after they're in production. So I might have SW control in the end as well.
