With 8 fans I think your going to overclock right?? if so more fans = less thermal bottlenecks if you push the CPU hard, plus it also depends on the case if it small with a low number fans heat can become a problem. If the case to to big hot air can collect in the case causing temps to rise, the fix is to add more exhaust fans you can never have to many, always have more or equal numbers of exhaust fans to pull heat out. Thats my take on PC cooling. BTW your Mobo supports 5x fans so you will need some molex to fan header converters, and for the love of jebus never use fan header splitter those are just bad news. Hope I helped with my alternate look on your situation

You're right, the more overkill the better your PC will be but when you know just a few fans would keep your computer and cool and no matter what you put it up againest it would be fine, then its just a waste of money and time.

Not really worth the extra noise of having 8 fans, and he could run as many fans as he likes of his power supply and a separate fan controller you don't need to use the motherboard headers.

Not really...I overclock with one front 200mm slow spinning case fan and i overclock fine. Case fans cannot cool the processor, which is why processor coolers are sold. As long as the air is moving and the pressure is balanced, then you are golden.

I use fan splitters all the time, there is nothing wrong with them.
