I want to connect 5-12 fans in my pc
the chasis is able to support 12 fans so there's no problem with that but i don't know how they get connected.

my motherboard is: http://www.gigabyte.com.mx/Motherboard/GA-H110M-H-rev-10#ov
psu: http://www.aerocool.com.tw/es/psu/kcas/kcas-600w

I don't know if the size of the motherboard limits o is a restriction for the fans.
will i need to buy extra cables?
I don't want to monitor the fan speeds that i know is a variable.

I haven't build a pc yet so i dont know the cableing stuff.I know more fans cause noise but i really don't mind it or i will find out how man fans i will want to have. Also i know the fans are 120mm and the chasis is for 120mm fans.

You can get pwm fan splitters pretty cheap on Amazon, get one for every sys fan header on your motherboard(usually 4). That should allow you to do 8 case fans. The rest can be done on molex. That doesn't mean you should. 8 fans will be very loud and cooling maxes out at 3-4 case fans(2intake 2exhaust).

A pile of fans does not necessarily make for better cooling.
The idea of case fans is to help with case flow, and help eliminate stagnant air movement. The individual component heatsink/fans do the cooling. It's possible with too much flow velocity,etc., and poor flow direction, that it would be counter-productive, and actually hamper the component fans working as efficiently as they could.

You can connect all you want via direct psu connection.

But... I might argue that three fans is generally sufficient.
Two 120 or 140mm front intake fans will supply sufficient cooling air for virtually any build.
If filtered, your case will stay cleaner.

Add only a single 120mm fan to direct the airflow out the back.
