Im looking for some red led ones but all i can find is ASAKA this is in the UK
I look on US websites and they have like antec tri cool and other propper ones. Im stuck with the basic ones.
But if your after a normal fan Noctua is your best bet for CFM/Noise Level

red LED, huh? Well, my top pick would be Thermaltake Thunderblade:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999138
These have one of the best CFM to noise ratios out of all the LED fans. I have 6 in my machine right now.
Antec Tricool would be my second choice but like you sed you have a hard time finding them. I would recomend looking on ebay, there are always good fan selection there, at least on the US site.
SilenX Ixtrema is also a good choice:
http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...ge=product_info&cPath=36_69&products_id=22922
There is also Logisys but they are noisy:
http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...ge=product_info&cPath=36_69&products_id=20905
I know Zalman also makes red LED but i cant find the link right now. There are also no brand LED fans too but only as last resort.
If sticking with non-LED, Scythe S-Flex are great as HolyCow said. They also have Slipstream and very high CFM Ultra Kaze but they are noisy. Noctua are great but very expensive, just like their CPU coolers. Cant go wrong with Silverstone FM and some Yate Loon and Cooler Master models. Also, Thermaltake, Antec and SilenX make non-LED versions of the fans i recomended above. For ultra high CFM (110+) get Delta.

The reviews on new egg say there really loud You think its quiet once rpm is turned down?
I've been using the Zalmans for some time, and they are not too loud on full. Also, they do come with resistor cables to quieten them down, and the leds don't vanish if you undervolt.

There's virtually no good stats from Zalman, but this review should tell you lots:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/showthread.php?t=170224
I have read somewhere they are rated at 88cfm, and for other info check

thnx
but it just occured to me to look at their site (duh!) and there we have the following info: 1000-1800 RPM, 20-32dbA. But no info on CFM, somehow i doubt its 88CFM though. All in all 32dbA is a tad loud for my taste (though they can be quited down) but if noise isnt an issue then feel free to try them. So it seems that on full speed Zalmans are a bit louder than Antec Tricool at full speed. I think i should've placed SilenX in the second place and Tricool in third as the SilenX has better CFM/noise ratio but its not 14dbA for those who are wondering, its higher but they are still pretty quiet.

The TT Thunderblade ones
I replaced the tricools that came with my old P180 case with the Zalmans, and the Zalmans are most definitely quieter, for about the same airflow.
