Best fan for TT Pipe101 heatsink and CM Praetorian case?

I am trying to build a Athlon 64 3000+ (Newcastle) system and have most of the parts I need. However, I am still undecided on the fans I need for the heatsink and case (a Cooler Master Praetorian Silver 🙂. I am currently leaning towards a Zalman ZF-F2 for the heatsink, as this is pretty quiet at 36db. I trust a 92mm fan would be better than a 80mm? Do I even need to replace the case fans on the CM?

I know everyone swears by Panaflo, but I would like the option to monitor and adjust the speed of the heatsink and case fans, as I have already ordered a Super Flower Fanbus (I live in Michigan where it gets pretty hot in the summer and freezing in winter, so I can slow the fans way down or up!).

Any comments would be most welcome as I would like to order the fans tomorrow.

Thanks,

Paul.
 
I got that HS with a 8cm Tornado in a Chieftec mid case and it is really loud then again there are five other 8cm fans, hardrive fans etc. in the case. 8cm Silicon gaskets with the TT angled air duct on the HS helps a little. I used to have a TT Smartfan II on it but I inadvertantly destroyed it by touching it while spinning- idiot me. It also does a terrific job as well. My temps stayed at roughly 39c idle and 45c at full load from both fans.

PD
