Hi I recently purchased

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HKEI3EY/ref=pe_3187911_189395841_TE_dp_2

But the stocks fans are loud and irritating. Can anyone recommend me 120 x 120 x 25mm replacement fans that are quite but effective. Thanks.

need to remove the link to that website, just link the item from the manufacturer webpage.
i have the same cooler on another build, and the fans are not that loud compared to some.
does your motherboard have a fan tuning option?

Noctua and BeQuiet both make super fans. As an example: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/noctua-nf-f12-pwm-chromax-premium-grade-fan-120mm-fg-06n-nc.html

For radiators it is best to go for high static pressure.

Alternatively you could use low voltage adapters on those fans. I have stock SP120s running off 5V and can switch them up to 9V on hot days. The PWM range is still very wide.
