Recommend me a 120mm fan

[arcenite]

I am currently running an XP-120 with a Panaflo L1A (Can't remember exact model, it's the one that only spins ~1000rpm). This system was originally built with silence in mind, but this Panaflo simply does not move enough air to keep this overclocked beast cool. It does its job of not allowing the CPU to overheat, but I'm just not happy. Recommend me a 120mm fan that moves the most air with the least amount of noise.

Thanks,
Bill

Questions that come to mind.

What cfm are you seeking?
Do you want a tach wire?
Are you going to use a fan controller?
Do ball bearing fans scare you? 0_0
What are you willing to spend?

Go here, look at both low speed Delta Triple Blade fans, 120x25 and 120x38.
These are very high quality BB fans with a tach wire and because they are three bladed the sound they
do make is not an unpleasent rip. These are not cheap fans but I really like the four 92x38s and one 120x38 I have.

The fans I'm selling (link in my sig) are excellent, but may be too heavy for your application - they weigh about a half pound each...

based on other advice I am going to use a Panaflo M1A on my SI-120 cooling a Opteron 165 overclocked. As I have not installed it yet I don't know how well it will work. In fact, I'm not even sure the Si-120 can take a 38mm thick fan to begin with but as I all-ready have the fan it's no loss if it does not. I'll let you know how it works

It'll work, don't worry.
