I'm building my new PC with a Maximus X Hero motherboard. I have a total of 6 fans i'm using for the PC three in the front used for an intake that came with the case and 2 for the radiator on my AIO cooler and 1 for an exhaust in the back. I guess my question is do I have enough fan headers on my motherboard? The spec sheet is confusing there are multiple things listed with the word fan in it.
Here is a link to the specs (Internal I/O Ports section shows the fan connectors): Mobo Specs
I'll also post the specs below:
