Building new computer soon.

Going to have a 4670, planning to push it to around 4.3 - 4.5 ghz

Also getting the h100i cooler.

I'm pretty set on getting the corsair sp120s(quiet edition), yes I do know there are fans that perform better, but I just wanna know will these suffice for my cooling needs?

Has anyone had any issues with the corsair sp fans with the h100i? I've heard replacing the fans can sometimes bring up some issues with this particular cooler.

SP120s will suffice, even running on low rpm, they are really good.

helped building up the CPU Overclocking Database and GPU Overclocking Database, check them out ;)

Noctua NF F12's.  I know Linus recommends them as well.  Although they're not the most eye-pleasing fans out there...  

 

The stock fans are fine though, and you shouldn;t have any problems with those.

i think he choose the sp120's because he did not have £30 to spend on fans which is fair :3 but Nf-f12's are really good

I would go with SP120's as they're pretty good and way more nice to look at

appreciate the feedback guys. I love the performance on the noctua fans, they are a bit more than I'd like to spend on fans tho. Also I would probably only get them if I didn't have a windowed case, they would just clash with the look of the rest of my build.

Honestly, it is not really worth replacing any stock fans other than for aesthetics. The performance increase, if any, would be better spent on actual components. Only when buying heatsinks/rads and fans separately is when the whole "which fan is better" discussion is worth it.
