The case comes with "2 x hydraulic bearing 140mm Silent Series R2 fans, 1000 RPM speed." Doesn't sound bad, and you probably won't need more unless you want to make your CPU run frosty, or if you're doing some overclocking (which might not be super great with that motherboard).

But I like to fill all the holes lool

Well I would say yes. There's nothing "wrong" with the motherboard, but one with better VRM"s (aka more of them) would allow for more stable overclocks. You can overclock on that board, just not as high as ones with more power phases.

To keep it simple, for overclocking, something like an Asus Z97-A, or an ASRock Z97 Pro4. The Asus will probably get better stability if you're really pushing it.

If the prices are near the same, I'd say go with the Asus board over the AsRock.

Yep, that board has an 8-phase VRM design, aka it should overclock well. It says it comes with an SLI bridge too, so that's nice.
