Looking for some suggestions on replacing the stock H80 fans. They are so loud to me and I find it annoying.

Some fans with good static pressure and low dB please.
 
Corsair has some now that are pretty quiet from what I read. But they don't perform as well as the stockers in terms of cooling but should still be fine unless you're rolling extreme overclocks. Check out their website.
 
Well here's a small list for you to consider:

Scythe Gentle Typhoons - some people say they exhibit a high pitched whine at certain rpms, but not everyone. They're amazing fans though somewhat pricey

Cougar Vortex HPB - My personal choice, great fans, decent static pressure and airflow and they are more or less comparable to the much loved noctuas while costing almost half the price. The only negative side for me personally is the fact that you have to get them either all orange, or black with orange rubber pads.

Corsair - You've got the SP120s and the SP120 quiet editions. Both are great, but they are a little bit louder than the others listed so far IIRC.

Noctuas - Great fans, absolutely awesome fans really. But two major gripes: ugly color scheme and they're pricey. If you can get over that they are some of the best you can get.

I gotta admit I think the Noctua fans are a little fugly too. Poop brown aint exactly styling. Don't get me wrong, I know theyre among the best fans on the market, just not crazy about the looks.
 
Noctuas are ugly. Like its been in a smokers house for too long.

What about Gentle Typhoons? Have these fallen off as good HSF/Radiator fans?
 
They look great if they don't clash with your scheme.
I'd take them over corsair's current look anyday.
 
Corsair SP120 High Perf or Cooler Master Blademasters. Both have static pressure in the 3-3.5 range and both are pretty quiet under 1000rpm.

Really though you need to work on the fan profiles on your motherboard or get a speed control. I have four of the Cooler Masters right next to me and I can't hear them because they're at 700rpm. If you want dead silent then you're going to lose 5-6 degrees of performance, but most any 25 db fans in push pull will accomplish that.
