You likely have more than 6. Power supplies usually have 2, video cards as well. Heat can kill your rig, making sure that you have proper air flow is always a great idea.

Fans are 12v, that should answer your question. You can get them to run 7v by exchanging the ground wire for 5v but it'll still get it's power from the 12v line.

Do you need many fans? Not if you're Jennifer Lopez.
