Any 92mm fan will work with the XP-90. A few good ones are a Vantec Tornado, or any major Delta series of fans (from low to high speed, TFB or EFB 3-blade fans). Panaflos are also good fans to use on an XP-90.

The Panaflos are the best.

The Deltas or the Vantec tornados are way too loud and the difference between them and the Panaflo is very little.

Not all Deltas are loud, all the Tornados are however. Whatever fan you decide to pick make sure it is 92mm not 80mm. and make sure you get one that is 38mm in width not 25mm.
It seems that nobody caught on to the 92x38mm sanyo denki's that put out the same static pressure as the deltas/tornados but are almost quiet when turned down and don't have the annoying whine of the tornados.
They are expensive at $16.04 but I like mine much more than the tornado I had.

They come with brackets meant for supermicro servers but they are just a normal sanyo denki fan when you unscrew it out of the bracket. They come with a small 4 pin connector, which will fit onto any 3 pin connector. This is THE BEST 92mm fan I have found in my experience for a combination of airflow when needed, and low noise when needed.
Check out the following thread. It was my search for the best 92mm fan available...

Anyways, nobody knows about these fans but they are awesome.

You may want to check Sidewinder Computers. I know the Panaflo High Performance 120x38 114 cfm fans are on sale for 11.00 plus change. The 92mm's may be as well.

All fans are quieter when you undervolts them. and if you turn the fan down it no longer puts out the same pressure so that point is moot as well.

Of course they do, but that wasn't my point. I was pointing out that on full blast, it puts out the same pressure as the tornados and deltas but does so at lower noise. Then if you turn it down to say the lowest setting on the sunbeam it will run at, it is much quieter than the tornado and quieter than the delta when they are turned down as well.

Oh OK I must had read it wrong then. I checked out those fans they don't look too bad at all. I also noticed I don't have them on my list of fans so I will have to add them to the sticky. They are a bit pricey though for what you get.

They are definately pricey. It's important to note that I was in search for this type of fan when the Delta HHE wasn't available. I wanted to find something around the HHE but not as bad as the tornado's whine. A lot of people swear by the Sanyo fans, so maybe they'd be willing to pay a little more for one of these. It's an excellent fan though.

half the price? xp90's are 30$ at heatsink factory.
next would be the 20$ vantec aeroflow on newegg for good price to performance.
cools as good as the xp-120 on quiet setting.

I am not buying in the US and prices overseas are very different. I am actually getting it from Oz cause my bro lives there and can have someone bring it for me thus saving on shipping costs.
XP-90 = AUS$80 excluding fan; Freezer 64 = AUS$45
I don't overclock anyway and want pure silence so I think I have found the perfect middle ground in the Freezer
