Default I need a good 92mm or 100mm fan. Suggestions please.

I currently have a Scythe Shuriken low profile cpu cooler and my temps are starting to get out of control again. The fan that came with the cooler is a 100mm fan and is 12mm thick. It moves a decent amount of air for its size - 31 CFM and rated 31 dB running at 2200 RPM.

The cooler can support 92mm or 100mm fans, up to 25mm thickness. Anything thicker than 25mm and it won't fit in my case. I need something that can move alot of air but is no louder than 31 dB. Newegg has a Scythe 100mm x 25mm fan, 58 CFM, 30 dB, but sleeve bearing.

What do you guys think?

Yeah the KAZE is what i looked at. The other fan is WAY too loud.

Is sleeve bearing any good though? Don't those get louder over time?

Sleeve bearing is the cheapest form of bearings. They have low life and cheap quality, they should only be ran vertically otherwise they won't remained lubricated and can quickly run into motor grinding.

I just avoid sleeve bearings in general.

The Kama Flex series look good, but I might opt for the Gelid Wing 9 instead. Removable fan blades are pretty gimmicky in a case fan, but as a CPU fan they can make cleaning a bit easier.
