I recently got the retail package of the XP-90 that comes with a Panaflo, hasnt arrived yet but I know that fans in the 30's dbA, I want something lower than that. Browsing on newegg, I found a couple that look good:

VANTEC SF9225L 92mm 2 Ball Case Cooling Fan - Retail

Thermaltake Silent Cat

I think Ill get two, one for the rear of the case, I want good airflow for my 3.0E on the Asus P4P800-SE which Ill be overclocking, looking for a goal of 3.6. Is this posible with these fans or should I stick to the Panaflo that comes with the xp-90.
 
I'd stick to the panaflo or if quiet is what your after then i'd get some yate loon or nexus(modified yate loons) fans. i use a 92mm and 2 120mm yate loons and they are very quiet and even better when undervolted.
 
Obviously the TT Silent Cat isn't 21DBA, they're lieing about that. The Vantec Stealth is a good quiet fan and so are Panaflo's. I would go with whatever one you prefer, they're both respectable companies...
 
I litterally just installed dual 92mm Nexus "Real Silent" fans in place of two 80mm fans and i can say that holy cow are they quiet... its soooooo nice (since i have my case on top of my desk right next to the monitor)

my girlfriend is so happy cause now she can sleep

Hehe I can expect that from TT, I fell for two of their "quiet" products, the silent purepower 480w, not quiet at all.

I need to order from newegg and these seem the ones they have, will the Vantec Stealth let me overclock nicely still ?
 
i am satisfied with my antec tricool 120mm fans, quieter then my panaflo M1A and move almost same air at full speed(has built in fan speed switch) i ran the fan on my testing psu and was like 'woah' because it was so much quieter then the panaflo
