Will the sp120 quiet edition give me good temps while running quietly? I was going to buy the noctua nf-f12s but those seem ridiculous for the price.

They'll give you alright temps but won't be that quiet.

Are the noctua nf-f12s the way to go or are there better options?

They're great but there are cheaper options that are perform as well and are just slightly louder.

What shops are you using?

Im using it to replace the stock fans in my rad. For me to order from best buy (the h100i and two noctua nf-f12's) it is 160$. Should i just go for that? I heard nf-f12s are better for rads than typhoons anyway because they have more static pressure. All i want from the noctuas is to be quiet and preform good because the looks dont matter that much to me.

If looks aren't an issue, go ahead and get NF-F12's.
