H100i replacement fans

[Dazz0r]

Just purchased a H100i but have been hearing stories about how noisy the fans are. Can anyone suggest quieter, but with at least the same level of performance? Thanks

Quieter is possible, same performance is not. These fans have very high static pressure which i have not seen matched. I would suggest testing the fans before replacing. If you are not going to push the system with a high OC then it would be possible to compromise on the performance for the reduced noise.

This is the fan spec for reference.

My cheap arctic f12 fans outperform the h100i fans by nearly 10.c. I'm using 4 in a push pull and they were only 4 quid each.
