What fan are you guys using on your tuniq tower?

I replaced a couple of my stock Tuniq fans with Thermaltake A2029.
Temps dropped a few degrees in exchange for only a slight bit more noise, but knowing my fan has an extra 1k rpm of headroom should things heat-up when summer rolls around makes me happy to have switched.

If sound really doesn't matter at all you can't go wrong with a super high CFM delta fan. You essentially have to be legally deaf for it to not be loud though. A couple reccomendations of louder fans would be
yate loon D12SH
Good, inexpensive fan. Essentially a good budget or value product.
Panaflo H1BX
Slightly higher quality and a better bearing that results in roughly the same DB as the yate loon but with substantially high output.
Scythe Slipstream Super High
One of my favorite fans in it's highest output. This fan is rated at 110CFM at only 37Db. I typically use their high or medium fans though, all the specs are on that page.
Zalman ZF-3
The new kid on the block but, those who have used report VERY good results, for the price I'd say it's worth a try.
Now, having answered your question, something for you to think about. Most heatsinks are designed to operate with 60cfm or less. I've tested a few heatsinks in my day though not a tuniq or either of thermalrights new 120mm heatsinks and the point of diminishing returns is about 50cfm.

Um.. No. It's not. The Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme is fanless (you have to buy a separate fan for it.)
Just look at the newegg images, they speak for themselves, see the big black them in the middle there? ...yeah, thats the fan.
Now as far as fans go, I got one of these for my Tuniq rig(sigh.. I'm still waiting on the x48 chipset and q9450, kinda hoping their might be some next gen gpu's out by then too; not those dual card solutions[9800gx2 and 3870x2].)...

What part of your own link do you find confusing?
The second picture which clearly shows a fan inserting into the heatsink fins or the specifications listing which clearly states fan type, rpms, power connection type, etc?

Stick with the stock fan. It's more than adequate. With the included fan controller you can make it silent.
I've got a TT...bought it used & the fan controller wasn't with it. The fan noise was noticeable in my Sonata III.
I replaced it w/a Yates-Loon D12-SL12. The temps went up & the nose went down.
I've got a Coolermaster Y720DCD-25T1-GP fan on the way. I'm going to give it a try in both my TT & my Big Typhoon & see which one will do best on my IP35-E/E6300 combo.

I actually used 5 of the GHE 38mm fans in a case for a customer about 3 months ago. He said he wanted the most airflow I could possible put in the system, he said he didn't care about sound until he heard the thing fired up. I sold the fans to a buddy of mine for god knows what, probably a liquid cooling set-up, and put some Slipstream 1900rpm fans in and he still thought it was kinda loud but, acceptable. The look on his face was well worth the cost of the GHE's.
i thought the same thing - too bad about the db rating
I don't have a Tuniq Tower but I have replaced all of my Stackers case fans with these Coolermaster's & will be adding one for use on my Ninja

I tweak them to run at 12v all the time and I'm happy with the performance - got 3 in there now and I'm putting another 2 in this week when I get the chance. Over kill on my Scythe Ninja but I love em.
*resounding fart sound* It was the dog.
I hate those fans. Not because they're all that bad of fans but, because they have pretty poor static pressure and they are not, NOT, 37Db fans at 12v and they're not 110CFM. I've used a few of these and they're quieter, move more air and have better static pressure, and from jab-tech they're $4 less than the cooler master at $7.99 plus shipping.
