H100i Fan replacement

So i just got an Nzxt S340 and I have my H100i with the stock fans installed in the front of the case.  Since then my 2x Gtx 970s (Reference Coolers) have risen in temperature due to less airflow.  Any suggestions on if more static pressure optimized fans or higher airflow fans would help keep my cards cooler? My cpu temps are fine.  Thanks

Silverstone AP123s would be my choice, Noctua NF-F12/P12, bitfenix specter pros and some noise blockers would be good options too. The key for strong intake front fans is focused airflow and decent SP.

Static pressure is good for intakes in general.

 

I love my Noctua NF-F12s, very good fans that are super quiet. They also cost $20 USD each.. Also they look dumb.

I used to be quite active here.

Also, doing push/pull helped me, i have a corsair H105 in the front with Silverstone AP121s and Phanteks 120MP with the APs pulling (focused airflow) and the Phanteks pushing.

Sadly there is not enough room to do push pull in the front.

noctuas are great, but they are not the ONLY option, personally i would rather have silverstone AP123s on that config.

I'll look into them. Thanks for the help.  I'll post pics when I have everything finished.

Oh, sadly they are not PWM.  I think Pwm would be the ideal fans for my mobo's headers for better fan curves

NF-F12s are fantastic, i was pretty much giving a little more budget friendly option, Fractal Design Venturis are also very good. HP12s in your case

Since you are going to mount the fans on the cooler's rad, best is to look for fans that have very good static pressure. Seen the SP120s yet?
