How many fans can be installed to this motherboard? Will five be fine? Or will I need to get a splitter?

This motherboard has 3 fan headers: CPUFAN, SYSFAN1 and SYSFAN2. SYSFAN1 is 4 pin and SYSFAN2 is 3 You'd need the appropriate splitter cable to connect five fans.

In most cases, you only want the cpu fan installed directly to the motherboard, unless you are an enthusiast or just want it to run quietly.

Three pin fans, but they will work with four pin connections. I use mine with and four pin MSI motherboard.

It depends on what you plan on using it for, what your power supply can handle, and how many fans your motherboard supports. I personally added five 120mm fans (2 for top, 2 for side, and 1 for radiator in back), but it also includes two 120mm fans in the front of the case. Also, note that your power supply will take up one fan port on the bottom. So, in the end I used all fan ports (used 8 holds 9) except for one on the bottom. I am using my computer mainly for photoshop and gaming, so I need to keep my case at an optimal temperature at all times. Also, note that it does support four 240mm fans, so if you have the money or need the extra cooling potential you could put two on top and two on the side (instead of 120mm fans). With this setup, whether I'm running Borderlands 2 on max specs for hours on end or handling massive resolutions in photoshop, I have yet to overheat the case. Depending on your application, this might be overkill. For a simple home desktop setup I would recommend two additional 120mm fans (most home setups get away with just two fans totat, however this case is much larger than most cases). Finally, if you just want the bare minimum for a gaming rig you could probably get away with three additional (instead of 5)120mm fans. Hope this helps! P.S. I realized I forgot to mention what fans I'm using. I'm using some Cooler Master SickleFlow 120mm fans.

I believe you can only fit one 140mm fan. Two 120mm fans with no problem but not two 140mm fans.

Sorry for the delay. Had to ask my son who built the computer for me. He says you can run two chassis fans off the motherboard and more from a power supply.

You can mount 6 fans; the case comes standard with one in front and one in back, both of which are replaceable. There are settings to mount fans on on the top (2) and on the bottom (1) By removing a set of drive bays(middle, as you would remove for a large video card), you can mount another fan in front.Short: 6; 1 rear, 2 front, 2 top, 1 bottom

Yes, but. Depending upon your memory configuration and motherboard layout, you may only be able to use one fan on the cooler. Also, in my case, I had to remove one of the side panel fans. But it works every bit as good as my liquid cooled system, so I am quite pleased. (I was able to keep both fans on the cooler.)

It comes with 3 fans already, I bought 1 extra just in case. But as long as you aren't overclocking the computer then the stock fans should be plenty :)

Yes, with splitters you can run all 8! I currently have this set up powering 2 Swiftech pumps, 4 sets of cold cathodes an 6 120mm fans in an XSPC case holding my liquid cooled Xbox 360. So yes you can use this an run all 8 fans &#128526;

as many as your motherboard will I imagine. There is a ton of space in the case so that the only limiting factor would be your motherboard.

No , this one can only have 2 fans same speed. If you want separate speeds you need Pwm splitter

There are 9 expansion slots, so assuming that each card takes up 2 slots and your motherboard supports it, 4. Also note that because of the way the case is configured you will never have problems with card length either.

This switch will not support 8 fans, I think you need at least a 10AMP but you should check with the fan manufactured first

Your motherboard has 4pin connectors! Those are compatible with 3 OR 4 pin fans which is great! You'll be able to plug them into the slots labelled CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, SYS_FAN1, SYS_FAN2, SYS_FAN3, on your mobo :)

If you have a converter for the motherboard plug I don't see why not. It's just a standard 4 pin pc fan plug. If only 3 are used it's silent, but if you use all 4 it'll be loud. While it's loud it can cool 80% of a tall tower. It's my lower fan blowing air up into the case onto the back of the graphics cards. Best investment so far for fans.

Technically 2. It comes with 4 fans already (1 on the top, 1 on the rear, and 2 on the front with support for 2 more on the bottom). You can also remove the top 200mm fan and replace it with 2 120/140mm fans, thus giving you a maximum total of 7 fans.
