Your board is designed to run [strike]2 fans[/strike](Sorry it IS 4, I had the mATX one). One CPU and [strike]one[/strike] three Case fans.

With PWM fans you can get a splitter to allow upto 5 fans to run from 1 header as long as the power comes from a molex connector on the power supply. This does not work for voltage(3 pin) based fans(if you want speed control, they run at full speed).

Please note that many fans connect directly to the power supply and do not even need to be connected to the board. Adapters can allow ALL fans to connect to the power supply if they are not too loud for your liking. The cpu fan is generally connected to the board so it can be slowed down when things are not too hot.

You have many fan options, but by default the board...

You have many fan options, but by default the board seems to have place for 2 fans total.
