H100i Fans?

Hi, I am wondering if this setup will be good, or if i should buy some other fans.

Thinking of running h100i in a push pull setup on a air 540. How about using af120 at the top, and the stock fans at the bottom?

Or should i just buy another set of sp120s?

AF fans aren't designed for restrictive applications like radiators. SP fans are.

But then again, there's no point in push/pull on a H100i. One set of fans is perfectly adequate. Adding more fans makes little/no difference in temps.

Ah! Is is worth replacing the fans that come with the unit?

It depends really. I changed mine to SP120 just for aesthetics, to match all the other Corsair fans in my rig.
