Will my motherboard support PWM on a case fan?

yes, your mobo has two 4 pin fan headers, one for your cpu hsf and one called SYSFAN1. As long as SYSFAN1 is available, it is made for PWM fans. Refer to page 1-20 of the users guide.

if i want to add more PWM fans, is there like a thing that i connect to the SYSFAN1 header that will give me more open connectors to plug in more fans?

PWM-splitters can be used to operate multiple fans from the same fan-header. ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=PWM+Splitter&N=-1&isNodeId=1 ) Make sure you use the same brand/type of fans.

PWM functionality is usually plug-and-play, although sometimes you'll have to make sure that your BIOS is set up properly. (Usually it's called either Smart Fan or Q-Fan. I can't remember if any other brands call their fan-speed-controlling software anything different.) Alternatively, you can download Speedfan; it has the ability to control fan speeds - both 3-pin and 4-pin varieties.
