The Antec fan seems to be a better fan than the stock one that came with the ACFP64. It is quieter and moves more air according to my acoustic measurements and my temperature measurements. If I replaced it with another Antec 92mm tricool I might gain a degree or two but not worth the effort IMHO. I will go with what I have.
Here are the pictures by the way. The screws that I used are normally used for attaching metal roofing which explains the rubber gasket (meant to seal the screw). The black rubber washers I stole from one of the unused bays in my Antec case (meant to damp hard drive vibrations). I put the screws all the way into the fan and then carefully (well maybe not so carefully :-) aligned the screw heads between the slats of the heatsink. Then just push it on until the rubber washers contact the heatsink. Nice tight fit and no buzzing or other noise transfer. Works quite well.
