Sick of the noise from the stock fans, so looking at getting some SP120's, that's if these are the best bet, however whats the difference between these three....

First ones are High performance, 4 pin PWM connection
Second ones are High performance, 3 pin connection
Third are quiet edition, 3 pin connection.

I've just fitted some quiet edition fans to my H100, seem good enough, quieter than the originals. Just a shame they're 3 pin
 
I use 2 Akasa Apaches at 100% speeds, and I do not have issues even these summer months. While the system is very quiet.
 
The best fans are the stock fans that come with it apparentely, although loud. I did try putting a pair of sp120's on but because they couldn't be connected to the block, they didn't cool well enough for my liking. Getting 4 pin fans.
 
So I've bought SP120 quiet editions and after an hour on Google I'm not sure they'll match the stock ones, I hit 82c max with the stock ones under prime95 on my 5930k.
 
The Noctua Industrials are by far the best fans out there, I've used them all. :)

The Corsair SP120's look the best though.
 
Installed the SP120's ran prime95 for 10mins, uninstalled SP120's

Got up to 90c in no time, no good for overclocking. I'll stick with the old ones.

Noctua's are just to ugly for my perfect case. :-)
 
What speed were the fans running?

I have 2x SP120 Quiet Editions on my H100, the fan speed is in the middle setting (no link functions), and I don't go about 80 with Intel Burn Test with my overclocked i7-950
