That was not what i was asking, I was asking if these were of sufficient quality, not if they were compatible, of course they are compatible. :l Are they GOOD enough to accommodate the cooler

You only said can i replace, that made me think you weren't sure if that was possible not whether it was worth replacing, Which they are not, the fans the cooler come with have a better fan speed and airflow. All in all, they original fans are better.

Hmm, the kraken stockfans have a little higher static air pressure and less airflow while the noise blockers are not that behind with a bit lower of a static air pressure but with a higher airflow...if it helps i plan on running this in pull. Wouldnt higher airflow with a still really good staticair pressure prove to be better in a pull config? And sorry for not being clear enough the first time...

It looks to the point where it is marginally the same, if you haven't bought the fans, don't because alot of the features of the x61 are exclusive to those fans, LED etc. stick with the stock.

Well,i already boight the fans, howbout this. When i get the cooler and fans i will use stock, then these. See what it affects and how the noiseblockers differ from stock.

Those fans are VERY misleading. They are 90CFM fans that operate at 27db. They will NOT be quiet at all when under load and will probably be no better than what comes on the cooler.

For most fans, for best performance, you need to decide what speed the fans will run at. Pull is marginally better with fan speeds under @1500rpm. Push is better with fan speeds over @1500rpm. This may involve only 2-5°C difference, but some people are sticklers for benchmark numbers. Me personally, I prefer to see the fan over looking right at the radiator, so I'll suffer the °C

Like i said, i will test it when i get the cooler. Which will take a month, so i am stuck with your impications for now, thanks.
