How many case fans can this motherboard take?

Am I blind or something? Well I don't even know what kind of slot a case fan connects to.

I keep having second thoughts on motherboards after reading reviews but this one seems to be good enough

you can add as many case fans as the case can hold

case fans do not need to be connected to the mobo

Without CPU fans 13. I'm different I don't buy something that I won't put into use. Like if I only want 2 way gpus I will only get a mobo that supports 2 gpus. My case just has a lot of areas for upgrades and is over 2ft tall.
