They are a good choice. RPM on it's own is meaningless, the fan blade pitch and design will have just as much impact. A fan turning at lower rpm with higher blade pitch can move as much air as one turning faster with lower pitch. Also higher rpm means more noise

You should be more concerned with the amount of static pressure that the fans generate rather than the RPM. When attaching fans to a radiator you want high static pressure. When using fans for intakes/exhaust with little or no obstructions then you want higher RPM. Personally, I use Cougar 120 CFD fans which are insanely quiet and have very high static pressure (1.74). Those aren't PWM and only spin at 1200 RPM but my temps idle at 29 -31C (i7 4970k overclocked to 4.6Ghz with a GTX 980ti in the loop). And the temps I get while gaming are in the mid 50's. The only time my temps get really high (74C) is when using Handbrake and all of my cores are at 100% usage.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm going with the corsairs because I'm doing blue lighting and I have a buddy of mine who swears by their fans. The ones I chose are SP fans so they should be good for pushing through the rad I was just worries about the RPM since the ones that come with the cooler are like 2700 or something crazy. It would sound like a vacuum cleaner!

The only downside is there aren't PWM but I can't see it making a huge difference where they only spin to 1440 anyway.

Thanks!!!!!
