The stock fans on the H100i are SP120 high performance without the colored rings. The quiets will work just fine but you may experience some noise issues if you push the stock fans past 1450RPM (the quiet editions max speed). I tried push/pull on my H100i but the temp difference was honestly unnoticeable and significantly louder. Instead I just replaced the stock fans with the SP120's so all the fans in my case would match.

Generally I wouldn´t mix up fans with different RPM ranges like the stock ones and the SP120 QE. Sometimes stuff like that could result in even worse performance. However I´ve read from several people that all SP120s (stock/HP/QE) work well together.

But honestly, I wouldn´t go push pull unless you just happen to have those fans laying around.
