I know the Quiet Edition is at 23 dBA and the Performance Edition is at 35dBA so what is the dBA for the stock h100i fans?

I recently bought a Corsair h100i CPU cooler and I have noticed a large noise increase so I am looking for new fans.

Currently, I am overclocked to 4.2 GHz with my i5-5670k and my temps are between 29 and 35 degrees Celsius. I was wondering how I could keep those temps while bringing down the noise level. I have read that the Quiet Edition isn't good for overclocking so I'm not sure if I want to go with that.

Thank You.

Quick Edit: I've read that Noctua are also good with the h100i so how would they compare too?

The Jetlo's are a good idea and i guess they would get the job done, However saying that if you want air actually pushed through the radiator the SP120's are your best bet, and make sure you get a fan controller for them, Because listening to any fan at 100% is a pain in the ass.
