I'm going to be ordering a Prolimatech Mega Shadow Deluxe Black Edition CPU Cooler for my i7 920.. I need some helpful suggestions on some 120mm's that would be great for Push-pull on the Mega.. I don't like super loud fans but I enjoy some great cooling more than anything. Price isn't an option just lay it on me! thanks :)

I notice you have went with the quietest noise levels.. i'm more focusing on best quality, performance rather than just being quiet.

If you want performance, look at the 120*38mm fans. They have more static pressure. Look for San Ace, Delta, Panaflo, etc. Scythe GTs are very quiet and perform well also.

I would recommend the Scythe S-Flex series of fans:

Here's a link to a list of recommended high performance fans that are relatively quietly:

I would ask to remmeber that one person's quiet fan is another person's jumbo jet at take off.

Which of the S-Flex do you personally like the most? I was thinking G or E?

Or F I might add. What about this Zalman MFC2 Multi Fan controller? Any thoughts? I was considering getting it too. Any other fan controllers you might suggest?

I am using an "F" with my TRUE. I thought the "F" model was a good compromise between cooling capacity and noise.

Yeah, I loved the sound F put out.. even at max it sounds sweet.

I use two Scythe S-Flex 1600rpm fans on an original Thermalright Ultra 120 cpu heatsink. Results are outstanding.
