The stock fans that come with it are starting to rattle and make noise and I have to tap the top of my case to get them to stop and they get pretty loud when running games. Which fans should I buy to replace them that will be quite and be better for the H100i. I was thinking about the SP120 but what do you guys think.

The SP120s would probably perform better on a rad. Those Noctuas, while better case fans, don't have the static pressure that the SP120s would give (helpful on rads).

The Noctuas are also ugly as sin

The NF-F12 appears to perform a lot better than the SP120 in every respect. Its static pressure is 2.61 mm/H20 at 1500 RPM and the SP120 Quiet Edition does 1.29 mm/H20 at 1450 RPM.

The Corsair fans are nice, but only because of their price in a bundle and looks.

I meant the Performance SP120s. They are noisy but have even better static pressure than the Noctuas, albeit at a higher RPM:

If you can get Noctuas to run at a higher speed then those would be better.

I'd take the fan that performs nearly as well as the SP120 High Performance with lower noise and RPM. I find that having a quieter PC is much more important than getting a slightly higher overclock. I have a pair of AF120 Performance editions and they're too loud so I use a fan controller. Before I had the controller, I used a bunch of voltage reducers. Sometimes I wonder if people who run their fans (ANY fans) at full voltage actually use their PCs.

Second best upgrade I've ever made to my PC (SSD was first).

Also, OP, re-seat your fans and maybe install them in a different orientation. You can also oil them if you are so inclined.

I don't care too much about noise so long as it doesn't sound like a jet like my 360 does.

Some good reviews on the Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850rpm fans. Or if you're like tbyeah just grab some 5400rpm ones if you don't mind the noise.

Use four of them only if you want your PC to fly!!!
