I know this, that was why I am asking about these other fans.

Yes the S-Flex are better than Slip Stream, but they are not 120x20mm or anything slim at all, which would make them useless if my graphics card is sitting on top of them.

Thanks for the comments, but my question is still unanswered.

Again, would the Yate Loon 120x20mm that I linked above, be more efficient than the Slip Steam I have?

I did not notice on this list that.. I believe these Yate's are listed, and the guy says he liked them a lot.

I've changed from 8800's to 285's, and the resulting card size change has created an issue for me and I'm trying to find a reasonable fix until I can fully solve the issue. The 8800's covered a small area of my radiator fans, but not to the extent that they would majorly hinder airflow. With me now going SLI with my 285's and the much larger cards, I'm faced with a card nearly covering the radiator fans, ruining airflow for the radiator and the graphics card. Going with a slimmer fan mainly will ease this issue for me until, again like I mentioned, I can fully solve the problem. Since I knew the issue, I found the Yate 120x20's and was wondering how the performance of those fans(which got positve feedback in the Xtremesystems link given earlier in this thread) compared to the Slip Stream. Wondering if anyone else had specific input to these Yate fans, I came here and asked for additional input.

If 120x25 was a viable option for what's going on, I would surely go with those, but as I need a fix for my specific situation for the time being, I need to approach it in a different manner and not get the best 120mm fans for radiators. I'm not going for ultimate performance as it's not an option at this time. I didn't ask for what fans were the best, I know what fans are the best.

Thanks for the feedback.
