I know nothing about fans, but the cfm airflow is rather low...., im not interested in noise levels so the best cooling possible using air.

Tbh not caring about noise levels is stupid. Ive go a delta 120mm fan here that pushes so much air its a joke but is so loud you cant talk over it.

You need to find an acceptable balance, or if you really dont care google and pick up some deltas

fans its impossible to choose for some1

i stick with noctua mostly, their new pwn fans are great
if you want super cheap tho can recommend the arctic cooling pwn, u dont get much cheaper and they pretty good!
the corsair above are inbetween the 2 for price atleast

The airflow is quiet adequate on these fans. I have 3 as intake on my rig (2 front, 1 floor) and even at 800rpm they shift a fair bit of air.

Obviously it' dependent on case but surmising an average case has a volume of 10 cubic feet then 1 fan being able to move 39 cf in a minute means it's moving 3.9 times the amount of air that can be inside the case.

It's not as straight forward as that but it's the general jist.

I recently bought some 120mm Noise Blockers, brilliant fans, nice and quiet, came with silicone mounts/grommets and two lengths of cable depending on your needs
