Can you guys give me any suggestions?

I am trying to find a case fan that is about 19dba or lower, give airflow more than 40 cfm or higher and size is 90-92mm.

I have search many silent fan, most of them are about 20-25 cfm. I have read over a website that it gives higher than these but I lost that website.

thanks for your help ! :)

thermaltake silent cat 92mm, its 21dba at max but you can tone it down on a fan controller and has a really high cfm rate..

That 21dBA rating is pretty much false. Thermaltake is known to get their sound measurements farther away to get that magical rating of 21dBA. Many of their models come with this rating, so perhaps they're all measured at different distances. You want to avoid Thermaltake when looking for silence.
 
If you have the room get a 92 to 120 fan adapter and then use a 120 fan at a lower voltage. Generally speaking, a 120 at 7 volts blows more air than a 92 at 12 V ( at least in my experience). Currently the quietest 120 fan is the Nexus which is a slow moving fan but very quiet.
 
the issue is not the fan itself, but the air its moving the air makes more noise then many fans so air flow is directly proportional to noise
