If you have upgraded your fans what did you put on them and did you setup a push pull ?
Have you upgraded your H80i or H100i fans ?

Upgraded my H100.
Using Noctua NF-F12s in pull - Noctua because they offer the best performance at the lowest volumes and pull because it traps less dust.
Reusing the stock fans elsewhere in the case.

I upgraded my fans to SP120 Quiet Edition and I'm running them in push in exhaust as I have filters on all of my intakes. The only reason I replaced stock fans is because they made grinding noise.
As ttaskmaster said noctua fans the best but are expensive as one cost almost 2 of corsairs ones. I went for corsair due to aesthetics as at the time I purchased them noctua only had their cream brown colour scheme fans. Now they have grey versions of them and black/brown (REDOX). Hope this helped

Thanks for the responses I am looking to see what people have done as there are a few options out there that will fit these coolers, and as we all know we don't always take the best option as modding gets in the way and we want what looks good 
Used them all tbh, tried corsair and noctua.
Though currently, I'm using asaka piranha 120mm in a pull config. Would prefer push and pull, always better temps but 250D can't allow dual sets of fans on the h100i.
Must say for me they are the best I've used. I've seen temps as low as 18 degs on my setup 4670k. Max temps of 66 degs. ( asus real bench )

When I was running my h100i, I replaced the fans with 4 Noctua F-12's in a push/pull configuration (was only temporarily as was in the process of building a full WC loop)
Did the job quite nicely (& quietly). In the middle of winter it was keeping my 3930k at 19 degree @ idle, didn't see more than 60 degrees at load.

These are the most that people used now days there and yes there more. You can buy any fan but look for its static pressure as it's essential to push air through fins of h100i , also the noise level and build quality. Just remember higher static pressure = higher noise
I would put 2 noiseblockers in push pull there:
YOUR BASKET
2 x Noiseblocker NB-eLoop Fan B12-2 - 120mm (1300rpm) £13.99 (£27.98)
Total : £30.96 (includes shipping : £2.48).
get them on 2 x 3 pin splitter cable and voila.
