Hey guys, recently I decided to fix my issues with my case fans (I have 7 assorted fans all but 2 them are stock). Recently I noticed that the two corsair LED 120 mm fans have been rattling every time I start up my desktop.

So since I have a extra couple hundred dollars I saved up for instances such as this, I have to ask, which 120 mm fans will suit me the best? I'm looking at these

Just in case you need to know, I plan on setting up my H100i in a push/pull configuration (presently I have only a push setup). My case is a Corsair C70, I have 2 set up for intake and everything else is exhaust except for the two mounted on my HDD/SSD cages which pull air from the intakes across my spinners and solid states. I also try to maintain a positive air pressure in my case using a NZXT Sentry 3 fan controller

These are the best 120 static pressure fans for coolers/intakes; only downside is that they are brown.
 
I have some Corsairs that came with my Corsair case, I want to say the performance. The ASUS motherboard software auto tuned my fans, and I simply cannot hear them. If I run BF4, which I do on ultra high settings, I still only hear my video card. I have the ASUS 8 GB Strix that's bigger than it should be with 3 fans.

I would look at the Zalmans too. They make good fans.
