I have a corsair h100 mounted on the top of my case, with stock fans. ITS LOUD!

I would like to change out the fans with silent 120mm ones ( two of them) any ideas? I want to make sure they will fit back on the radiator and inside

AFAIK any fans that will fit on the radiator and in the case will work.

a 120mm fan is a 120mm fan, they are generally all the same thickness. but have you tried adjusting the fan speed, I know on my H100iV2 I was able to use the corsair link software to turn the fan speed as low as possible and set the pump to "performance" (as quiet was actually noisier) and my OPEN AIR system is inaudible.

 

thing to remember is even the quietest fans will be noisy if they are running fast.

What speed are your running your fans at? Have you tried lowering them?
