Need New Fan on HS, Recommendations?
Using a Swiftech MCX478-V HS and a SilentBoost fan (from my old silentboost hs, if you dont know what it is, here's how the fan looks like http://www.xoxide.com/silentcat.html)

I want to get a better fan and of course, quiet

This one is pretty quiet but I want better airflow

any recommendations?

Vantec Stealth is also a good fan

Stealth fans are quite loud, go with the Panaflo fans.

look at the links i put up. the vantec is the quietest fan compared to the panaflows (21db @ 27 cfm). The panaflow fan that does the same 21db only does 24 cfm. for the quietest fan of the ones i put up, the vantec stealth would be the best buy.

Well I've had experiance with both the vantec stealth and panaflos (4 80mm stealths, 2 120mm M1As, 2 92mm M1As) and I can tell you that the panaflos are better. Unless I happened to get a bad "batch" of stealth fans, they have an annoying hub noise.
