hi. so i bought the corsair h100i and i dont know which fans to get. should i get these Noctua NF-F12 Industrial PPC 120mm 3000RPM PWM Fan or these Corsair Air Series SP120 Performance Edition PWM Case Fan. i just need 2 of them for push. the industrial fans have 7.3mm static pressure and is 10$ more expensive. while the corsair is 3.1 . i dont mind sound and cost or looks.

If you dont mind looks, Id recommend getting the "old" nf-f12's, due to much better price/performance.

Any 3K RPM fans are going to be annoying. I promise. You should check out Gentle Typhoons if possible, or if not, Noiseblocker PL-2s. Those are both great fans. While I haven't had experience with them personally, @Lays has tons of Gentle Typhoons and he can prove that they're quiet. SingularityComputers uses Noiseblocker fans in most of his rigs and he loves them.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

sp120 are trash fans. don't even consider them unless you have a quad rad or something.

Can you get quiet edition sp 120's? The high performance, along with the noctua's will literally sound like jet engines.

I don't really understand. What difference does having a quad radiator make on the fan?
