One of my 120mm case fans is taking a dump on me and I'm going to replace both in the top of my TJ-09 case.    What would the recommendation be out of these choices?  I have two Cooler Masters there now.  Noise?  RPM?  CFM?  Bearings vs. fluid.

Antec / Cooler Master / Scythe USA

you got a link? each builder has different speed fans with different cfm at that size.

I would choose based on which ever has the highest cfm with loweset dba.

scythe is a good one but the other 2 are ok too.

Below are three links to the three manufacturers.  I was leaning toward Scythe.

the Gentle Typhoons are the best out there for the amount of air flow compared to the noise level.. even at the same Db as other fans, they have a different sound that is not annoying like most fans.. They are also some of the best on Radiator fans also...the 1450 RPM are silent, the 1850's make a little noise, but quieter than anything I have ever seen.
