I have a Corsair 550D with an H100 mounted on the top. The stock fans were kind of loud so I replaced them with Enermax T.B Silence fans. Subsequently reading this forum it seems that they might not have enough static pressure to be a good choice. I am thinking that I can use the Enermax fans to replace the case fans in the front and find a more suitable alternative for the radiator.

The Gentle Typhoons seem to be the fan of choice but I am having some difficulty finding them, I am also not sure which ones I should get. Two questions, can someone recommend specific GT fans for the H100, and the best place to buy them?

Thanks!

Initially, I'd recommend Noiseblocker eLoop PWM. I bought some of these myself and will test with the Scythe Mugen 2 heatsink in the coming days. While I don't have a GT to compare to, I can compare to Scythe's stock fan, I'll be sure to update this thread with results

GTs are great. Performancepc and other online boutique parts sites carry them. A quick Google search will bring up some sites

Here's my review as promised. I think you would love these Noiseblockers. Comparing my subjective testing to the Scythe AP-15 video in the link MrK6 posted, I'm convinced the Noiseblockers are much quieter at the same RPM. The AP-15 runs at 1,210RPM at about 1 minute into the video, and you can hear it's rather loud. The Noiseblocker eLoop is, in comparison, nearly silent at that RPM, even when attached on a heatsink/radiator.
