Questions about fans

I am getting a Phanteks Enthoo Pro M tempered glass and it comes with 2 PH-140SP case fans, I am buying a third as an exhaust but I have a question. I am currently using a Z97X-GAMING 3 from gigabyte and was wondering if I have enough fan headers. Also is it possible to control the RPM of these fans? I've heard they only work using 12/7volts but if I got a PWM fan hub (like the phanteks sells) would I be able to plug these fans into the mobo and control the RPM of each fan?

You don't need a pwm fan hub. You can use the sys_fan headers to control your case fans.
