That radiator uses 2 120mm fans.

Consider buying two of these fans: https://noctua.at/en/nf-f12-pwm/specification

Have you tried setting a custom fan curve for your fans?

I use these at the office, but you will not solve your problem by just replacing the fans. You need to make your own fan curve. The default ones are erratic.

well im not that bright to set my own curves to be honest like i know how to set it. but i dont know what temp for which rpm and etc but if u tell me how to i will. and my profile now is set to balanced

If the fans are plugged into the pump on the H100i, you can use software like Corsair link in Windows to control the fan speeds. 

If they're plugged into the motherboard, there are usually fan control options in the bios.

The h100i temps refer to the liquid and not the cpu temp. It works but usually makes more sense to have it respond to the temps of whatever you're cooling.

Those temps are fine. You're fine up to 80-90c at load.

NF-F12's would be quieter but I'm not sure about the noise or loudness you're referring to.

That's what the fan curve is for. The fans rev up and down in response to temps. It can take some experimentation to see what works.

Just to echo what everyone else has said. The fan curve is the only thing that will change the rev-up-down nature of the fans so changing fans won’t make any difference there.

 

what can be affected by better fans is the noise of the fans when they are running. The Corsair ones are on the loud side compared to others. In my system I have the Corsair unit and an EK unit (vardar fans) and the vardar stuff is so much quieter!

 

also fans that are more efficient will need to run slower and therefore quieter, so again better fans = quiet
