Best 80mm fan

[Kur]

I have a XP-90 HS, and well I have a crappy $5 fan from Microcenter. I was wondering would I see alot more ariflow from something better? I get around 30c just surfin the net, and around 40-43c in gaming. I have a A64 3000+ at stable but am going to try and overclock it and might get a operton 146 but this is the fan I have.

The XP-90 should have come with two sets of fan mounting clips. One for 80mm,the other for 92mm.
This is the fan i would use..Text..$10.95. Undervolts very well and is quieter than a comperable (in cfm) Panaflo.

If the XP-90 doesn?t need open corners for it mounting clip (I can't remember) I would suggest this Sanyo Denki. Sanyo Denki make some of the best if not best fans out there and are normally reserved the highest of high-end equipment.

The Delta i linked moves more air with lower dB, is a high quality BB fan, plus the center hub is smaller and more areodynamic in shape. This hub permits more air to flow near the center of the motor.

EDIT: The XP-90's mounting clips are not bothered by fans that have ears, as they don't even get close. Not on my XP-90C anyway.
