Antec P160 cooling advice please.

I need help cooling this as I have an A8N-SLI Deluxe in here that has just the Zalman passive cooler (soon to be installed).

I need something to keep the case flowing smoothely so that it doesn't kill my motherboard.

I have a stock 120mm fan that came with my case but it is really slow. I'm looking for fans that sound like a jet is about to land. I mean I want my case COOL with just air not any liquid cooling or anything. Thank you.

You shouldn't have much worry with that cool running Winchester. If you haven't already, you could take your rear fan off of the "fan only" connector and put it on a regular molex. That will make the fan run at its' full speed and voltage, 1200rpm and 12v. You can also add a front fan but you need to be careful about the thickness because of the little bay it goes into. Most 120mm fans are 25mm thick, but some are 38mm, just make sure to check. And if you decide on a front fan, IMO, the faster fan should be placed in the rear. In my experience, better cooling is achieved this way. The P-160 is built for cooling, you shouldn't have any worries with the setup you describe, btw, nice machine!
