I bought this tower, and I bought this motherboard. The tower has 5 preinstalled fans. I am not sure as too how many fans the motherboard allows. If it does not have enough slots for them, is there another way to get the fans working too? I would like all 5 to be on. Not sure if the power supply matters at all but in case it does, I bought this one.

The specs tab in your link to the board state:
1 x CPU Fan connector(s) (1 x 4-pin)
1 x CPU OPT Fan connector(s) (1 x 4-pin)
2 x Chassis Fan connector(s) (2 x 4-pin)
You can easily double up on each header with one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAABJ4666313&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Cables+-+Internal+Power+Cables-_-9SIAABJ4666313&gclid=COr74-L_2NACFZQ0aQodpsQHFA&gclsrc=aw.ds

If the fans are not 4-pin PWM (i.e. 3-pin), they may run at full rpm all the time. But that will depend on the available options in the board's BIOS.
