It's finals week in school and one of the fans on my H100i radiator stopped working. I've had the liquid cooler for only 4 weeks now, replacing the stock Intel heatsink on my 4690k. I've been very impressed by its performance thus far and the LED block is really cool, but I have tons of projects on my PC, and I want to replace both fans so I can get it working again.

So the question is, do I use Corsair SP120's, which have a CFM of 62.7 and a static pressure of 3.1mm/H20?
Or do I use the CoolerMaster JetFlo 120's, which have a CFM of 95 and a static pressure of 2.75mm/H20?

I'm new to water cooling, so I figure I'd ask the overclocking experts here. They are both 7 bladed swept fans, noise isn't an issue, and neither is price, though the SP120's are about 10 bucks more per fan at my local Fry's Electronics.

Thanks again.

I would go with the corsair SP120, they are cheaper and static pressure is important when pushing air across a radiator. Either way you go you shouldn't run any risk of over heating.

I have just installed a h100i , fans where loud. I switched to Coolermaster sickleflow for about $7 each , they are a little loud at high rmp but the fans work great at med to low rpm and the cpu stays well below my old coolermaster v-8 temps . The difference between those two fans is minimal, Fans with wide blades like the stock fans that came with the h100i are best for a radiator , if money was not an issue I would get these Noctua

Thanks for tips and answers guys! I am going to go with the SP120's, I can put the red plastic ring that comes with them on them to fit the color of my build. While the red LED on the JetFlo's is nice, I really like Corsair products and static pressure seems like the more important thing for rads as burdenbound pointed out. I also understand that Noctua's are REALLY good, but I am boycotting them until they decide to do some colors that won't make my build look like it was furnished by the Amish. Aesthetics are a big thing for me, and it's why I chose the H100i over the H110, because of the LED waterblock. So yeah, no ugly tan and brown noctua's anytime soon! :)
