Hello everyone! Recently I bought a MSI Z370-A PRO motherboard and I forgot to know how many fans does this mobo support!
In the msi site it says that this mobo can support:
4 x 4-pin system fan connectors

So does that mean my mobo supports 4 fans? I know this is probably a really basic question but Im new in these type of things!

And btw, what fans do you guys reccomend me?

My build:
-MSI Z370-A PRO
-ASUS GTX 1060 3GB
-INTEL I5 8400
-CORSAIR CX650M
-TEAM GROUP KIT 8GB (2 X 4GB) DDR4 2400MHZ DELTA RGB
-NZXT S340 ELITE
-WB 1TB HD
-SAMSUNG 250GB SSD

funny you ask this question I just built my wife's PC based on this motherboard,
Look into this page of the manual and https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z370-A-PRO#down-manual
and you will find on page 17; your motherboard can handle 1 cpu, 1 AIO Pump and 4 case fans.

and I have a similar case, NXZT340, it all depends if your using an AIO or not to be honest but you would use 2 in front (could link them to 1 header on the motherboard pushing air in) 1 fan on back 1 on top. leaves you the cpu and its fan(s)

With splitters or fans which support daisy chaining. You can easily get two per header. Perhaps three depending on the fan. So, you could get eight to twelve fans on that motherboard. If you want a good quality budget fan. Get the Arctic F12 PWM PST. Very quiet, good airflow and good static pressure. They can be had in five packs for about $25 and support daisy chaining.

Here you can see a break down of fans. The Arctic F12 is one of the quietest. Many of the more expensive fans get similar airflow in restricted environments yet are much louder.

If you are worried about their performance. I have five pulling through a MERV 12 furnace filter on a five GPU rig with no heat problems. The hottest GPU is 60C. I also have two on a gaming PC with a GTX 970 and overlocked i5-3570K with a measly Hyper 212 Evo. They stay under 65C in a four hour stress test. That's with the tests balanced out to put the CPU and GPU at 100% load (Unigine Valley plus OCCT).Without any fan ever hitting full speed
