By best I mean most CFM without a rediculous amount of noise....

All input is appreciated.

120x120x38 cannot be used.

I've got 6 TT thunderblades and i couldn't be happier... don't know if they are 25mm though...

Hmmm....thanks for the input but those aren't strong enough, looking for 100+ CFM.

Found these--they look dopey but I think I might two up for my rad.

With a good relationship between noise/CFM i've used:
Thermaltake thuderblade 78cfm/21dBA
Vantec Stealth 56cfm/28dBA
There is a fan in frozencpu called: Aluminum 120mm Fan. I don't know the brand but offer s only 29dBA/80CFM. Look nice.

Yeah, I have the aluminum fans right now....they aren't powerful enough and both on my rad are on the fritz (one clicks and doesn't spin at above 80% RPM while the other is quiet and doesn't go past 85%--I have three others that work perfectly fine as case fans but these are on my rad and just aren't cutting it), so I'm gonna replace them.

I figure I'll order on Sunday night so they get sent out Monday....anything better CFMwise than the SST that I showed above? 40dBA is about my max for an in-case fan.

Well over 40dBA, what do you think about Sunon KD1212PMB1-6A 108CFM/42dBA? Only 2dBa more :D .

I think weapon has some 120x120x25mm San Aces... i'd say shoot him a PM/e-mail.

Sorry, My bad.
I was checking some datasheets and i find this:

ADDA AD1212UB-A71GL almost 100CFM/43dBA

Thanks Bloody Sorcerer and Corvus Corax....I'll shoot Weapon a PM ASAP.....

Those fans are certainly an option, CC, as they look like normal fans, but losing 10CFM and gaining 5dBA is a little OTT, but I'll keep them in mind, thanks.

That's the one I linked to above....it looks very different in your picture. It looks normal....hmm, I'll take a closer look at the other pics and probably order now. Thanks!

EDIT: ^^^^^ that's what I thought it looked like, I'll wait for word from Weapon before I take any action though.

Alright....after further look at the FCPU pics, they have the 80mm version on display. Still gonna wait for Weapon though...I'd like to hear about what he's got in terms of San Aces.
