I don't recommend putting more than your cpu fan to the mobo... No need to pull all of that juice through it... ;)

Make or buy some adaptors... You can find them for ~$1.00 each...

From what I can see, it has 3. However, I, personally would not hook 3 fans up to a motherboard...

Get the three pin adapters and hook them to the power supply.

Ok I have never heard of that so what do I do to get the adaters now? Do they have them at newegg. I am not a total noob but I am not experianced either. I am only 15 so what do you expect.

Almost any computer store should have them. Most new fans come with them as well.

Well, as long as their all low rpm fans it shouldn't be a problem.
