xp-90 with high performance fan

[rickyman]

i want to buy a high performace fan for my xp-90.

is there any high performace fan that is quiet and like 4500 rpm?

Not really... More RPM = More noise.

Panaflo fans seem to be the king in 92mm. I don't have one but I heard nothing but good stuff.

High Speed is pretty decent. Also quiet-ish.

Those 2 do not go in the same sentence. High-peformance fans are not quiet. It is arguable that the best balanced fan would be a 92mm Panflo.

However I prefer getting 3 bladed Deltas from places like

can this fan support p4 2.8c @ 3.5 or not?

It can "support" any speeds... Rule of thumb; Faster = Better = Louder

For an OC'ed P4 like that w/XP-90 I'd go with H1BX Panaflo. 57 CFM for 35 dB of noise. Everyone's different, but for me, 35 dB is already kind of annoying, get much higher and I start to tear my hair out. Personally I'd get an XP-120 to cool off a big P4 OC like that, but since you already have the 90, look into the H1BX. Good noise/output ratio on it.

which fan should i get?

Panaflo 92mm Hydro Wave Bearing H1A High Volume Case Fan (BX) with RPM Sensor ,

antec tornado or just Zalman ZM-F2 92mm Case Fan ?

You can also get a high performance fan and attach it to a fan controller.

Get the Panaflo, if its too loud for you hook it up to your mobo 3-pin connector and use Speed Fan to lower the RPM of the fan.
