Cfm rating is more crutial than rpm's correct!?!? Because i'm having a hard time deciding which 120mm fan to get, one is a Sunon and it has a lower cfm ,but runs at higher rpm. And the other one is a YSTech and it has a higer cfm ,but lower rpm. Both are the same price, so which one would be better to use as a intake fan??

Yes, if going by pure statistics cfm is a better gauge. Noise is also important, I think.

go for the lower RPM, Higher CFM. Your ears will thank you.

Fans with bigger blades and less rpms move more air and don't make as much noise as smaller blades/high rpm. The differance between the 2 fans may be that 1 is thicker then the other since they are both 120mm's.
