Coupled with a corsair ml120 pro (non led or rgb) case fan. You can also use 2x of them for a push pull configuration.

Replace the Corsair SP Series fan that comes with the H60 with the Corsair ML120 Pro (no LED, no RGB) and replace the Dell lower front intake fan with that Corsair SP Series fan. Throw the 2 Dell fans in the trash.
ML120 Pro (no LED, no RGB)

yes, @r72019 is aware of that. He is suggesting that you replace the Dell industrial grade serves fans that use ball bearing technology with better quality, more quiet fans during your liquid cooling mod. The Corsair ML120 Pro (no LED, no RGB) is the only fan you can use in the top exhaust position that will not throw a BIOS start-up error.

If you don't replace the included h60 case fan you'll get a startup error on boot.
