That's a tough combination...good performance and quiet. Panaflo's are quiet, but they don't move that much air. I wouldn't use them in a overclocked system.
NMB is a good brand to use. They've been around a long time and their fans are solid. They'll run and run and run.
Pabst is another good brand that runs nice and quiet, if you can find them.
But if you're looking for fans that move more air, you'll have to stick with high RPM ones. Or get bigger fans, they move more air than smaller fans. That's one trick some overclockers will use. I have a aluminum body 120mm Panaflo L1A that spins at only 1700RPM but moves a ton of air (70cfm) and it's really quiet...just haven't found a use for it yet. Might look cool in a Lian Li or similar.
Nice link, PardeGT.
