I wasn't a big fan of the stock Corsair fans on the H80, so I replaced mine with a pair of Scythe Gentle Typhoon AP-15s that spin at 1850rpm and move some serious air, and are quieter to boot as well !
Sad fact: I ordered only 1 fan to replace the 2 in the H80, which I neglected to research to know that it came with a pair
Once I built my rig, I decided to try the stock one on the back end (the puller). The AP-15 acting as a pusher would toss so much air thru the radiator that after being on for an hour or so, the stock fan would start to make noise as it struggled to stay up with the pusher. Easy fix - buy the right # of fans !
