So would two of these high static fans in a push/pull be sufficient enough to keep an S5 cool?

I have heard these fans, even the quiet model one are great fans for cooling heatsinks.

Yes, its what I recommend.

I understand with these fans an S5 will run quiet and cool. Will the stock fans run equally cool albeit louder?

Stock will likely still be cooler as its just a crazy amount of cooling. The advantage of SP120s is they are much quieter while still keeping the S5 in an acceptable temp range at most ambient temps.

So would you use 2 SP120's in a push-pull?
I currently run an s5 with 2 Noctua NF-F12 iPPC 3000rpm fans in push-pull, would the SP120s provide better performance?

That's my recommendation. NF-F12s will run cooler but will be quite a bit louder.

Dogie, you just recommended the SP120's just a couple pages back. I don't get it?

SP120s are a better balance of noise and performance. F12s are louder fans, even if they do move a bit more air.

I had a chance to test both the NF-F12s and SP120s and while it is true that the F12s are a bit noisier and 50% more expensive than the SP120s, they are much better at cooling.
Here's my test of them: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=974503.0
