Default Best Fan for XP-90?

I am thinking of moving to using an xp-90, but am unsure of what fan to get. My temsp are currently 60+ after 2hrs of prime95 (P4 2.8 oc'd to 3.22).

I am looking for a 92mm fan that will cool my baby down (i can take a fair amount of noise after having a 80mm delta in my last machine), but at the same time be good quality.

What CFM should i be aiming for in a cpu fan?

I really like papst fans. They cost a bomb, but are real good quality....but i'm not sure if the one below will cut it for my CPU:

As for the best possible cooling I would definitelly go w/ the 92mm tornado. Crazy specs, check it out:

119cfm and 56db so I would defintely suggest a fan controller.

if noise isnt a problem, the tornado is the best fan for and xp-90, but another good fan is the thermaltake ufo which can run from 1300-3600 rpms (which helps to keep noise down when you're idle-ing)
