Fan suggestion for AX7

Picked up a bare Thermalright AX7 on the forums and need
suggestions for a good, quiet fan but still throws enough air
for some overclocking. Also if you know a good place to get
them let me know as well. Thanks!
 
I wanted to add that I am now overclocking
my XP 1600 @146 FSB with a TT Dragon Orb
and it is way too loud and the temps are 49-51c.
If I use the AX7 w/ a quiter fan will I be able to
achieve the same if not better results, which
would be fine with me.
 
i have a 46 cfm delta on mine...and its a lot quieter compared to 60mm deltas (a big difference in noise) and is easily bareable...and has great cooling.
 
i'm using the 46cfm panaflo on my AX-7 & XP1800. i'm running around 100 F +/- 5. it's nice but a little loud for a panaflo. does anyone think that i could get away with the 40 or even 32CFM panaflos ?
 
I wanted to thanks the folks that responded and let ya know
that I ended up using a no name 3000 rpm fan at about 30 cfm
and am averaging 45-47C. Overclocking the CPU and VGA card
I am getting 2C less than the Dragon Orb3. This Thermalright
heatsink is pretty nice, and running cool & quiet with a lame fan.
