I am looking for a good fan for my XP-120. Right now I have an 120x120x38 fan and it is too heavy for the 120 fan clips to support. I am now looking for another fan that will actually fit into the XP-120.

Looking at the Delta 120x25mm Triple Blade Low Speed EFB

Any other fans good for the XP-120?

how quiet would you like it?

The Nexus is quiet but doesn't move much air.

I like the Delta Tri-Blade's. They work very well without being overly noisy (depending on model you get, obviously).

The Cooler Master Aluminum Fan seems like one of the best choices. Only thing I am concerned about is that it weighs 420g. Would that be too heavy for the Thermalright XP-120 fan clips to support?
Right now I have a Sunon fan that is 120x38 and it is too heavy for the fan clips.

the nexus black and white (rebranded yate loon quiet model) is probly the only fan everyone would agree is a very quiet high quality fan as it has been tested and is rated at 22.7dba at 1M so one of those is probly your best bet,

either that or a yate loon rated at like 28dba. people like these fans too
