With the limited fan connections on that motherboard, you will probably have to use a fan controller. One CPU fan and one chassis fan are not really intended to support water cooling. Some AIO coolers use the CPU fan, plus a supplemental power connector. They then drive the radiator fans off the CPU block/pump. The Deepcool you are interested in could be used with that board, but then any other case fans would have to be controlled by a fan controller.
