Replace or not Replace?

I have an old Corsair H100x and it still performs from new keeping an overclocked 8350k just below 65c.
The fans got extremely noisy and I am tempted to replace whole AIO but as it still works perfectly would you just replace the fans and what you recommend?
Thanks

Yeah get some new fans. No point wasting money of there's nothing wrong with the cooler

Which fans you recommend that dont sound like a jet is ready to take off but capable pushing a decent volume of air?

RGB or not? Maybe Corsair ML120's for RGB? But they can get loud. Keeps you with same brand.

Or Noctua NF-A12x25 for outright performance and build quality. But beige is not to everyone's taste. Take a look at some of their Redux fans for all black.
Or for same performance on a budget, Artic P12. Which I have. I'd recommend these.

Are these any good?

I think these will match well with the MSI MAG F12a fans I got with the MSI MAG Forge 100R case?
