get 3pin splitters, they let you use 3 fans for each header

The problem you're going to run into is that your mobo only has two fan headers - one CPU header and one chassis fan header. Depending on which fans you're getting and their power requirements, you may be able to connect them all between the two headers using splitters, but that may not be ideal as you don't want to overload and burn out the headers.

The quick, easy answer is to get an aftermarket fan controller. If you can tell us which specific fans you're looking at, we can give you recommendations on how to hook them up to the mobo safely and effectively without a fan controller.

You can I think, the cpu header can be used as well, just get splitters

Please re-read my last post. If you know which fans you want to add (size, brand, model number) we can tell you whether it is possible and how to hook them up. If you don't have specific fans in mind and want recommendations, you need to tell us what case you're using, what country you're purchasing in, and how much you have to spend. Different cases can accommodate different fans and there are hundreds to pick from.

If you just want a short answer, then the best I can do without that information is a very definite MAYBE.

That'll be a 3 pin, just get a 3pin to 3x 3pin adapter

Okay, your case can only mount 4 120mm fans max. The fans you've selected draw 4.2W and .35A each, so hooking more than two of them to the same header is not recommended. If you want to go with these fans, you can just get three of them - use a splitter to connect the front and side fan to the chassis fan header and another splitter to connect the third case fan to the CPU fan header along with your CPU cooler.

You could add a fourth fan in if you get fans with lower power requirements and at least one 3-way fan splitter, but you'll probably be fine with three.

There are slots that your fan pins fit in to, you can buy 2 splitters, one for the cpu cooler header and one for the chassis fans' header, then have 2 fans on each splitter

If you want four fans, you can get a splitter that connects the fans directly to the power supply. Just be aware that you will not be able to control the speed.
