Best fan for Thermalright AX-7?

[salz]

For those who own the AX-7, what fan do you have connected to the heatsink? My system is very quiet running with the stock heatsink and fan for my Athlon 1800, but I want something better (in terms of cooling). I don't mind if it's a little louder, but I don't want my computer sounding like a vaccum. Thanks.

adjustable enermax fans are great. you can get a good balance of cooling/quietness

Panaflo L1A.

Had the same fan on a thermaltake volcano7, when I switched the heatsinks temps dropped 4 deg celcius.

Edit - My harddrive is now the loudest thing in my case.

I'm with bunker on this one. I have the AX-7 and use the Panaflo L1A. It's a great combo!

The Panaflo's are very quite and seeing that he has an Athlon 1800, his CPU will ALWAYS be hot.

That fan came with my volcano7, I replaced it after a week. The temps never got low enough for it to drop speed.
