What motherboard? The number and types of fan headers should be listed in the specifications and manual.

It has one cpu_fan and one sys_fan header. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B250M-PRO-VD.html#productSpecification-section

If you want to run 3 fans, you can use a splitter.

You just need to get a fan splitter 

[manikyath]

according to MSI, it only has a cpu fan connector, and a single "system fan" connector.

so in short, it supports two fans.

 

but there's nothing stopping you from using 4-pin splitters for your fans, or buying an additional fan controller.

It likely is, but ultimately it depends on what you want to do. If you get a fan controller you can set it up to be compatible with effectively infinite fans. (All about the duct tape.)

You could.

 

I wouldn't.

Mainboard supports two. If you haven't gotten any GFX card(s) yet, perhaps take a look at ASUS' offerings, as some of them have fan headers on the cards (albeit tied to GPU temps, not CPU, which can be a great thing).

 

Otherwise, you can add fans almost indefinitely with fan splitters and hubs.

*Mandatory 'Eww, Molex" Comment*

 

NZXT Sentry 3. It can run 5 fans independantly of CPU or GPU temps, giving you a good deal of control over RPM (and subsequently, noise and airflow). I've got one, running 2 Corsair SP120 RGB fans, works well. Requires an available 5.25" bay though.

 

Otherwise, I don't.

Not a controller just a molex to fan splitter.

[VIVO-US]

The fans we include with the SMART case have both 3-pin and Molex connectors, and can be daisy-chained off a single connector without a splitter.
