best 80 mm fan?

[rontruong]

Hi, i'm looking for an 80 mm exhaust fan and I know there is a fan purchasing guide as a sticky, but I'm afraid that its old opinions... I'm looking over the neweggg site and theres so many different bearing types and I don't know which is better.

I'm looking for silent and good airflow... doesn't matter if its pwm or not.

ty!

I like fluid dynamic bearings from scythe, although I dont think they make 80mm. If you want silence first and best the Vantec Stealth is a very reliable fan, though not alot of air flow. What are you using this on? And could you some how adapt it to a larger fan? If not then this looks pretty good but I would still try and use a bigger fan if you can.

I got a Vantec Stealth for the exhaust hole on my case. It's not the highest peforming fan but it's very quiet and can move a decent amount of air considering how quiet it runs. I like my 80mm Vantec so much I'm considering getting some 120mm Stealths to replace the stock ADDA fans on my Lian Li.
