I recently installed a corsair H50, and while it lowered my i7 temps compaired to my Zalman 9700. As anyone in here would rightly agree, it could always be cooler. I already have a push pull setup.I have a SilverStone TJ09 and Xilence fan controller. So im looking to replace the 2 fans on the H50 with high speeds and replace the gpu intake fan on the TJ09 with a high speed fan.
Now heres what i have planned on purchasing.

I would need 3 of these fans

For the ram

And this for a little cable management

Now if you guys spot anything wrong with what i have decided on, im more than welcome to suggestions.
 
Slipstreams fans are a no-no for HS and rads, they are good for free air in cases, but not for static pressure. Since it seems you don't care about noise, I would suggest you go for 2 GT fans, so that way they can still be turned down and have good tonal quality. If you are just doing this to see how cool you can get and have no plans for your hearing, get some 38mm Panaflo or Delta fans.
 
Thank you Blue FireIce, As you can tell i dont know anything about water cooling so this just saved me some money, The funny thing is i was considering the GT fans in the beginning, but only because they looked unique.

Out of curiosity, why are slipstreams bad?

I've been running the 1900RPM model on my TRUE for awhile now and haven't had any problems with it, and my temps aren't anything crazy.

Because they have very small (thin) blades, they just can not produce the static pressure that other 25mm fans can and as a result have to be run at higher rpm to achieve the same amount of cfm through the fins. The TRUE is one of the few coolers that could really take advantage of 38mm thick fans, because of the TRUE's quite dense fin packing.
