Fans for Prolimatech Megahalem

I am looking to get a megahalem to cool my i5 but im wondering if i should go with 120 x 120 x 25 mm fans or 120 x 120 x 38 mm fans

what size fans would be better?

ill probably be going with Noctuas unless someone else would like to recommend fans that are just as good and quiet but cheaper

Scythe S-Flex SFF21F

get the scythe's. i have 2 of them on my thermalright ultra 120 extreme lapped heatsink, in a push-pull config and it draws away the temps like you wouldn't believe. high quality fluid bearing fans and extremely quiet. believe me when i say quiet, i can't hear them in my tiny room. i would personally prefer them over the noctua, but i hear the noctua fans make good use for cooling radiators on a water cooling setup. just my 2 cents.

You didn't say what kind of OC you are looking for, or anything about current fan RPM, so I will go middle ground and suggest the 1150rpm GT fans.

I'm using Scythe Karma Highspeeds on mine, works great!

I couldn't figure out the mounting clip things, so I zip tied them :/

That would be Kama, as in Kama-Flex.

Cool..i was wanting to ask the same thing...along with : Does anyone know if the mega's will fit in a CM HAF 922 case? There are several HS I am looking at,, yet am worried they wont fit. These things are huge

At what point...are these HS going to start stressing the Mobo's too much...
