Get the Vantec Tornado 92mm fan. It pushes more freakin air than any 120mm fan I've ever seen. I've never heard it however, and it pushes lots of air, so you might want some earplugs, hehe ;)

gives you the most options, can vary the speed of the fan so if your're overclocking you turn it all the way up to 74CFM and if your not you can put it low because it has a very good noise/cfm ratio.

YS-Tech Silent 80mm.
27CFM

I have this on a SLK-800 and it cools amazing.
As for the paste, what else? Arctic Silver 3 of course.

Another vote for the Y.S. Tech 80mm varaible speed fan (NFD 1281259B-2F) / SLK-800 combo. And AC3 paste.

Mount the adjuster on a pci slot at the back of the pc and you can easily control fan speed (i.e. noise) depending on what you are doing. I usually run mine about 2600rpm and it is not noticable above my case fans.
