What is the best fan for the TRUE to get the lowest possible temps? Would you pick a fan they have as a add on, or would you purchase something better from newegg etc?

Scythe Ultra Kaze?

The thing is dirt cheap and performs great.

Sanyo Denki San Ace's would be a great bet. Excellent static pressure, and do well even when undervolted.
The only fan from those options that I would pick is the Panaflo 120x38 @ 114 CFM

I have it's younger brother on my TRUE (86 CFM, 120x38) and it's great.

No. It's a meh fan that gets louder when under pressure and uses sleeve bearings.

This is the best fan for the TRUE. The static pressure is ridiculous, unfortunately it costs a lot and is one of the loudest fans ever.

i use two scythe 1900rpm 120x25 in a push pull. Its a bit loud though.
Ultra kazes are bad. Sleeve bearings are very bad. Sleeve bearings a loud, friction, and dont last as long.

That's to the point where it's just spamming CFM.

They're pretty meh, but still better than the other Silverstone fans.

The Silverstone 'Debacle'

I have tested both the aforementioned FN122 and FM123 for Round 2 and have not listed their performance. I hate them with a passion. Neither are anywhere near their CFM ratings and the FM123 is more annoying to listen to than the 220CFM Deltas in Round 1. I'd go as far as saying it's more annoying than a crying baby. Unlike the baby though, you can kick it. At this point, the FM121, FM122, FM123, and FN122 have ranked among the most annoying or worst performing fans I have ever tested/used. They may all be lemons, but if the lemon rate coming out of Silverstone is 80%, you should stay away. If they are good representations, you should stay away. So ultimately, based on my experience with them, you should stay away. And I really don't have a bias...I actually like the FN121 quite a bit. Shame it has ******ed siblings.

I wanted to exclude all Silverstones from this test, but because I was using an FN121 as a carry-over all-star comparison from Round 1, that was not possible. It actually did fairly well in this round-up as well. Go figure.

Have you undervolted them?

I have two, terrible for undervolting (started clicking loudly) and soon ran into common issues that happen with sleeve bearing fans (clicking, as already mentioned, and grinding).
