Four. Two in the front on the bracket that comes out, one in the top and one in the back. The top also supports a 140mm fan so you could do that instead of the 120mm.

Like the maximum that can be stuffed in without regard to whether or not they are useful for you?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

I really like this case. NZXT H510. One of my favorite cases. Unfortunately, it only supports 4 fans. Here is what NZXT says: 

Front: 2 x 120/2 x 140mm (1 Aer F120 Case Version included) Top: 1 x 120/1 x 140mm Rear: 1 x 120 (1 Aer F 120 Case Version included)

 

Only 4 120mm fans supported on this. If you can, use 140mm fans, because they provide for airflow due to their larger size

Less static pressure though.  It’s often a worthwhile trade off but not always.

No, I’m looking for how many will fit in the case, but also how many I need for optimal airflow

Then you need to test.  Airflow is hydrodynamics which is so fearsomely complicated it’s difficult to predict in anything but the roughest way.  Not a fast thing to do.  The more fans the more noise and usually he more airflow but not always.  You’ll want to pay attention to both you cpu and gpu heat.
