I want to replace the stock fans on my H100i because they get really loud when they spin up, but don't want to sacrifice performance. i live in Australia so the fans on my AIO are almost always running at 80% or more. I can get either the Noctua NF-F12 or Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition as stated in the title, however, i still want to save money. the Noctua's are twice as much as the Corsairs, so my question is:

which is better in performance whilst still being next to silent?

any help will be greatly appreciated! :D
