You don't really need a fan for the Z, but your X, Y, and E motors run continuously. Keep fans on those and add a fan on the board and you shouldn't have any issue with overheating.

Ideally I would buy a small computer psu to run the 3 fans I would install as i would also add more gadgets to the printer later so the additional left over power could be used else where.
