Motherboard help

I am getting a Z97i ac by msi and am confused by the fan headers. The motherboard consists of 1, 4 pin fan connecting as well as a cpu fan. I was wondering how many fans I can use from this. Picture of motherboard: http://images.anandtech.com/doci/8276/MSI%20Z97I%20AC%20Top.png

I can only see two fan headers. If you use splitters, you could probably fit 4 fans with each fan receiving enough power. You could also use a fan hub.

Another thing you can do is to power your cpu fan with the cpu header and the rest of the fan with a 3pin to molex adapter directly to the power supply. That would mean that they constantly work at full speed

Cpu:i5-4690k Gpu:r9 280x with some other things
