Please recommend a fan

I would like a fan to replace the one in my Tuniq Tower. I want one with a higher CFM, but doesn't sound like Vantec Tornado. Keep in mind that it needs a 3-pin to mobo fan header. I'm not a big fan guru, so help is appreciated.

EDIT: It takes a 120x25mm. Thought I'd add that.

I personally favor Panaflo fans. They have a good noise/CFM ratio.

Do you have have a link to a place that sells the Panaflo high flo and is in stock?

can't beat the price imho.

Oy, that IS cheap for a good fan. Yate Loons are quality as well. OP, I can link you to a Panaflo if you still want but it's going to be 3-5 times the price.

I have heard good things about those fans. I don't like the 4-pin connector hanging off of it. The Panaflo is worth it for the fan tail. The Tuniq has very, very, little room to work with.

panaflo's are 120x38 and why not just cut off 4pin connectors?

Right, the panaflos won't work. I am thinking Delta.

I agree the panasonic panaflo/nmb fans OR the scythe sflex fans offer great performance and lower noise. they also last a very long time

I was thinking Delta also. I got this from Sidewinder instead so that I could turn it down if it was too loud but did the job at a lower CFM than 100.
