Reccomend me a 120 mm Case fan

I received and installed this fan yesterday, as a rear fan. I modded the rear grill on my case and added a ringed fan guard in preparation as reviews showed it pushing more air than the one I had (some NZXT stock fan) and I didn't want the grill to make it noisy:

Was curious about it and wasn't let down, pushes more air than other case fans I've tried (at 1350 RPM), with minimal noise. Pricey but comes with 6 year warranty. I'd imagine the 120mm variants would be just as good. If interested, I'd get the 1900 RPM if you are connecting to motherboard or fan controller and can fine tune speed, otherwise the 1300 RPM and run it maxed.

Noctua NF-S12A PWM
I'm thinking these should be about the same or better than the corsairs.
With the Corsair fans an Anandtech review stated that the LED versions of the AF120 have poorer performance than the others so is yours LED?

No, I don't have the LED versions.
I have them hooked up to a Bitfenix Recon and they spin at 1300 rpm but I just don't think they are that strong.
I have two on my front grill, when I place a cigarette paper on the grill it sticks but, only just. My friend has some old goodness knows what make generic fan and you could stick a phone book to his front grill (exaggeration) so it just made me think.
Not so keen on the colour of the Noctuna's TBH.
Are Nanoxia any good?

Stat for stat, the NoiseBlocker e-Loop B12-PS or even the B12-3 will be about the best balance.
77CFM for 28dB.
Other fans are quieter, such as the Noctua above at 19dB, while others offer higher performance but are louder... as in 35-ish dB and beyond.
