Im going to purchase a new 92mm fan for my SP-97 this holiday season.I have 3 options I have narrowed myself down to:

Vantec ThermoFlow
Vantec Tornado
Panasonic Panaflow

Of course I would run the Tornado (and maybe the Panaflow) with my vantec fan controller... but I want the most performance but something fairly quiet. My 80mm fan on there is quiet, but isnt doing as well of a job as id wish.

Ive heard good and bad things about all of these fans, so I really cant decide on what I want. Are there any other good 92mm fans out there? Post up :)
 
coming from an SP-97 owner with a tornado on his even WITH a fan controller im about to go insane =\ its just "obnoxious" or something :(

i would probably give that panasonic a try.


EDIT: 512th post baby! GAWD STATUS! RAWR! :D :D :p
 
I have the 56cfm 92mm panaflow on that heatsink and its great. I have it hooked up to an enermax fan contoller, but I leave it at full blast most of the time since its not too loud. When I do slow it down to half speed it gets very quite with decent temps at idle.
 
I second the panaflo, and built a setup with a sp97 with a 92mm panaflo. Cant even hear the computer when its on, just the hard drive.
 
Alright thanks for the feedback, i had my eye on this fan for a while. Thanks
 
I have the 92mm Panaflo Medium on my SP-97, great fan. Moves a lot of air while keeping relatively quiet.
 
I had a quiet sunon on my Sp-97 for a while. It was comparable to that Panaflo as far as specs go. 50cfm and around 32db, very quiet and plenty of airflow for a heatsink. I'd say go with the Panaflo. Whatever you do stay away from the tornado...
 
I ordered a 92mm(for the SP-97) Panaflow and a 120mm Panaflow (for the case) both Medium speed from sidewindercomputers.com. Thanks guys, ill let you know how they go....
 
I've got the 120mm panaflo medium on my radiator. It is awesome. I had a Sunon rated at 90cfm and 45db. The M1A does 87cfm and is a full 10db quieter. At 7v it moves a lot of air and is practically silent.
