Building a new PC and was plannig to put the MSI Gaming 5 Z97 mobo in there. Cooling is very important for me, what fan type should i use? PWM or just regular ones? Wil the mobo be able to controll the speed by temperature if I go with regular fans, or do i need PWM ones?

That's the easiest way to do it.

You can go PWM or thermally controlled. But the thermally controlled fans will have a temp sensor that needs to be placed properly. For the price you may as well just get PWM.

You would PWM fans so that your mobo can control the fans speed based on temp. Alternatively you can use Fan Controller.
