2 x Chassis Fan Connectors (2 x 4-pin)

1 x Power Fan Connector (3-pin)

There's 5 fan headers, you can install 5 fans off the MOBO. 4-pin are for PWM, 3 pin DC. You can install 3 pin into 4 pin headers and vice versa. The only difference is in the granularity with PWM fan control, they'll work either way.

This... Basically if you plug a 3 pin fan in a 4 pin PWM header it will run at full RPM all the time and you won't be able to control it with software...

There are two cpu fan connectors, one 4 pin connector and one 3 pin connector, two 4 pin chassis fan connectors and one 3 pin power fan connector.

 

You will be able to run all the fan connectors on the board. 3 pin fan connectors will work with 4 pin fan headers and vice versa. The fourth connector is for pwm control, where the fans can automatically adjust their speeds based on cpu temps.
