92mm fan recommendations

Hi,

I'm trying to replace the fans on my 4850x2 because it's extremely noisy and doesn't cool very well. Wondering what are the recommendations for 92mm fans that are reasonably silent yet has a reasonably high CFM, basically most bang for the buck? I've read that the Noctua and Scythe ones are the best? How much are they, and which shops sell them, and what are the alternatives?

Thanks.

noctua and scythe are the more expensive fans that are available. if you r goin for low noise lvl, i would say nocuta. on the other hand, heard that scythe do perform better than noctua and isnt that noisy too.. =)

i personally bought noctua 120mm b4 and i dont really like them.. perhaps u might want to go to UVnium to test out their 92mm fans before making decision.. =)
