Is the fan that came with the Corsair H60 of any better quality than standard 120mm fans? I wasn't sure if I should use that or the one that was in the case (Cooler Master Elite 130).
 
Solution
I don't know that particular case's fans but I doubt it is better then the fans that comes with the cooler. Keep in mind that the best fans for your case aren't necessarily best for a radiator anyway so it may be the best flowing and quiet fan in the world, and may still suck for a rad due to sucky static pressure.

The fans that come with the Corsair coolers are good fans. Not great, but not crap either. A happy medium. I'm a Corsair kind of guy, so I would suggest upgrading at some point (don't need to right away really, but if you could) to a better Corsair fan, such as these: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX48108 - You can choose when buying them from blue, white, red, and purple, or no color at all.
