I haven't kept up with the new products for the past year. I need to buy some 80mm fans for my current setup. I was wondering what the best fan to get was. Price is not too much of a problem if the fan is that good. I was just wondering what the best overall fan was mainly comparing noise and efficiency. Although I don't care too much about the noise although I wouldn't want banshee's . I juse need good air cooling. Thanks

Nearly all fans are good these days though ballbearing ones do tend to last longer than sleeve bearing ones but a lot will depend on ya case design plus the amount of noise you can put up with. I use UNEEC clone cases (Antec,Chieftec, Enermax, etc,...), for the most part 34cfm ballbearing fans do me very well and are quiet enough for me plus my systems are all overclocked. You maybe like some others though who like a bit of noise and use high speed high cfm fans (exceeding 75cfm) such as SMART FAN II's or Tornadoes but then there are those middle of the pack 50cfm Sunons as well.

i have tornadoes in my case...its really not that damn loud, yall are just some wimps :) they are kinda expensive though, so by the time you buy like 5 -6 you can probably get a POS water cooling instead. but be a man and get tornadoes.
