UV or LED 80mm fans for CPU

I'm looking for a fan that is either UV or led lighted for a SLK-800, but I don't think case fans are enough to cool my overclocked 2800+. Are there any fans that are UV or lighted that put some serious airflow out ?
Where to buy ?
 
Thanks blodhi74

But the UV and LED fans there are in that 2400 rpm range and I'm trying to find UV/LED 80mm fans that push more air flow than that. I've been cruzing the online store but havn't found anything yet.

Thanks for the help though.
 
RPM vs. CFM rates vary with fans. when buying a fan i look more at the CFM (air flow) and noise levels over the RPM's. here's a good led fan that puts out up to 36.4 CFM AeroCool 80 mm Fan. if you need more air flow you can try something like this AeroCool 80 mm X-Blaster Fan which puts out 52.8 CFM at 45.6 db. the ultimate case fan though would be the Vantec Tornado 80 mm Fan. these fans put out some serious CFM at 84.1 but at a noise level cost of 55.2 db. i heard these things can really sound like tornadoes inside your case but cool them very well. the latter 2 fans are plain, non-uv reactive/led fans but you can always customize a fan by slapping on a uv reactive, led, or cold cathode grill on top of it to get the lighting effect you want.

only comes in blue, but this thermaltake fans can pull 72cfm at 49db. much better ratio than that aerocool one. although im not a big fan of thermaltake myself, this fan is probably the the highest 80mm lighted fan. another solution is to get a high flow fan and add either a uv grill of ccfl lighting to it.

That Vantec Tornado pushes about 8-10% more air than an average 120mm fan, and is about 10-12% louder as well. And the RPMs seem to be high enough to clip your fingernails for you.
