The best solution would be something you do by yourself by replacing the stock fans on a heatsink with red LED fans. I did so. Bought Arctic Cooling Freezer i32 and replaced the stock fan with Corsair ML120 Pro red LED fans to run in push-pull configuration and to match my Skylake build's black & red theme (full specs in my sig).
Under the spoiler is one combined pic that i created out of my Skylake building pics to show you the process and end result.
Here are also all the needed components,

You can go for any red LED 120mm fan when you don't want to pay the premium price of Corsair ML120 Pro red LED fans.

That depends on a fan performance. If the stock fan has better performance (more CFM at said RPM and more SP at said RPM), while the fan you're upgrading to has weaker performance then you'll loose on overall cooling performance.
Coryorig H7 stock fan specs,
Rated Speed: 330 ~ 1600 RPM ±10%
Noise Level: 10 ~ 25 dB(A)
Air Flow: 49 CFM
Air Pressure: 1.65 mmH2O
Ampere: 0.16 A

Thermaltake Riing 12 red LED specs,
Rated Speed: 1500 RPM
Noise Level: 24.6 dB(A)
Air Flow: 40.6 CFM
Air Pressure: 2.01 mmH2O
Ampere: 0.2 A
link: http://www.thermaltake.com/Case_Fan/Case_Fan_/Riing/C_00002640/Riing_12_LED_Red/Specification.htm
With Thermaltake Riing 12 fans, you'll loose on air flow but gain in static pressure.
Just for comparison, here are the specs of Corsair ML120 Pro red LED,
Rated Speed: 400 ~ 2400 RPM
Noise Level: 16 ~ 37 dB(A)
Air Flow: 12 ~ 75 CFM
Air Pressure: 0.2 ~ 4.2 mmH2O
Ampere: 0.299 A

Corsair 100R comes with 2x AF120L fans, one at the front and one at the back. AF120L is upgraded version of AF120 fan. Since AF120L fans aren't available to be bought without a case, there are no official statistics about the fan and i can't tell if AF120L would do as proper case fan.
Usually stock fans are quite bad. I got 3x AF140L fans with my Corsair 760T case and i replaced them all. Even though they were silent, they didn't move much air.
Since 100R supports 2x 120/140 at front, i'd mount 2x 140mm fans at front. With bigger fan, you'll get more air moved with less of a noise. But if you decide to have 2x 120mm at front then it depends which Corsair SP120 fan you have.
If you have SP120 High Performance Edition then it would be better than Riing 12 since it does move more air with greater force, provided that you'll run it with full power (2350 RPM),
specs: http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/air-series-sp120-high-performance-edition-high-static-pressure-120mm-fan
But when you have SP120 Quiet Edition, then the Riing 12 would be better since it falls short from the performance of Riing 12.
specs: http://www.corsair.com/en-eu/air-series-sp120-quiet-edition-high-static-pressure-120mm-fan
Since i don't think you're willing to listen 37 dB(A), which SP120 High Performance Edition fan will do at 2350 RPM, it's safe to say that you should go with Riing 12 fans as front intake fans.
