    Depends no what you are wanting out of the fan. If you just want a very powerful fan, then i'd go with what Kaninja advised for sure. If you want something quiet but has decent air fow, i'd suggest some of these:

    Main PC | Secondary PC
    Intel i9 10900K | Intel i7 9700K
    MSI MEG Z490 ACE | Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Master
    ASUS TUF RTX 3090 | NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super
    32GB G.Skill Trident Z Royal 4000MHz CL18 | 32GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB 4266MHz CL17
    SuperFlower Platinum SE 1200w | Seasonic X-1250
    Samsung EVO 970 1TB and Crucial P5 1TB | Intel 760p 1TB and Crucial MX100 512GB
    Cougar Vortex CF-V12HPB x9 | Cougar Vortex CF-V12SPB-RGB x5

    Scythe Gentle Typhoons.



    This.  Noctua is also a good choice if the price isn't too much different.

    I want good airflow and some good looks lol.
    I love the name "Scythe Gentle Typhoons" but the color grey was such a turn down.
    Thanks for the recommendations, i guess i should choose performance over looks.

    I'm looking at the scythe fans right now and there's so many choices!

    About the Gentle Typhoons are the 3000 rpm the best? i just saw a clip on youtube the ones above 3000 rpm are very loud.

    The Scythe fans are pretty good. You really don't need a fan above 3,000 rpm's anyway. You should get a fan controller, and put it in your 5.25" bay. You can lower the fan speeds for regular computing, and raise the speeds for gaming.

    Thanks i'll get the 3000rpm then :)
    By the way i made a thread about overclocking my cpu and asked advice on how to place the rear fan and the cpu, so far no one replied and i'm afraid that cpu area doesn't get much attention, if you guys can check it out and give me your thoughts i would be so thankful!

    by the way just checked my case antec 900 on newegg and its at $200!
    thats almost twice over other cases which are much better, why my case is so more expensive, it makes me feel a proud owner :)

    Antec's 200mm fans are proprietary, you won't get any better most likely.  Leave that alone and get GentleTyphoons.  The 3000 RPM model isn't needed for your case, it won't help much and you'll have to deal with extra noise.  I'd get the 1850 RPM or 2150 RPM models.  And don't get Scythe Slipstreams or Ultra Kazes, those are garbage.

    Thanks for the advise, is it a good idea to have the zalman fan exhausting air out of the top fan and have the rear fan blowing air to the zalman fan too?
    I plan to oc my cpu to 4.5 and would like to keep it as cool as possible.
    I bought also some rubber gaskets for my new skythe gentle fans, does it matter what brand the rubber gaskets are?
