I just upgraded to an i7 6700k, and also got a new cooler to go along with it. I am wondering what fans would be the best to replace the stock one H100i fans. I have read pretty much anything with high static pressure, however I am not sure what that really does. I have been looking at these fans, since, along with static pressure, they are highly rated and have a red LED (which I am also looking for) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181044. Would something like this work well at replacing the stock fans on the H100i?
Good fans for to replace stock H100i Radiator fans.

The h100 has a pretty thin rad, so a high static pressure makes less difference.
I use high power Noctua fans with a fan controller.
As far as static pressure guides go... for a 120mm fan, 1 is low, 2 is good, 4 is extreme.
This for example, will provide more than 3x the static pressure at the same RPM, while also being quieter.

I really would like to get Noctua fans, but the are so ugly. In addition to my being quiet, and also being good for my radiator, I also want something that looks good (that red LED fits great into the build I have going on). Is there any other good fans like Noctua, that aren't so ugly (also possibly with a red coloring / LED)?
