Solution 1 : If I understand well I plug them both in the CPU header and control them through the bios. Would love that but there is pretty much no control for the fan in the bios. Also 57CFM won't be enough for full load
57CFM is with no impedance. I am highly confident that if the S-flex are rated for 63CFM (which is also under no load) that they apaches under load will deliver substantially more actual CFM than the S-Flex. Say if the S-flex drop to 30 CFM and the Apaches drop to 45 CFM, they are delivering 50% more CFM.

Solution 4 : CFM is not enough for full load but I might consider them if I had a radiator
"I just finished building a CPU+GPU water cooling loop" doesn't that mean you have a radiator?
Take another look at the GT blades. Then go take a look at the Noctua case fans blades (not their CPU fans). Then take a look at the S-flex blades.
Which fan do you think can push air best against high impedance. The GT blades provide no place for the air to leak backwards. The Free air CFM ratings are one thing. Actual delivered CFMs against impedance is another.
In high impedance situations I don't believe any other quiet fan can begin to compete against the GT. I just don't see anything out there.
Its like assuming that a 500 HP ferarri can pull as much weight as a 400 hp diesel truck. It can't. It's not geared for it. It can race faster around the track, but not if it is pulling a 20 ton trailer.
It will stall, just like these fans stall.

Solution 5 : NZXT sentry 2 fan controller http: // ww w.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811992005&Tpk=nzxt%20sentry%202
What do you think. It's cheap, little bit of eye-candy and would have much more control than my bios I guess altough much less accurate CPU temp reading. Although people have mentioneed that it make cliking noise
or bigNG which if I understand correctly has the advantage of being controled by software through internal usb ?
the aerocool touch 1000 is nice but it does not seem to change fan rpm in relation to temp
I need to think about it. Can you give me a more complete description of your system and what your intentions are for it, and why.

Also I checked and 4x800rpm with 2 rad would perform similarly to my current 2x1600rpm but what about noise ?
That doesn't sound right. Can you tell me where you are getting your data?
Why are you even messing around with water cooling? What exactly are the constraints you are dealing with that caused you to go water?
