Quiet is good.Do you want them to be quiet as well? If so i cant recommend the Arctic P series enough, great static pressure and VERY quiet. Also Phanteks are supposed to be really well regarded, quiet with great performance.
I'm assuming you want 120mm fans as I think all Antec CLCs use 120mm fans. If you are only going to replace one fan and CLC has more than 1 fan it would be advisable to either replace all fans with same model or replace the bad one with same model as other fans being used.Desperately need to replace a fan on my AIO (Antec Kuler).
I believe fans which are optimised for high static pressure are good?
Could some one point me in the direction of the ones to buy in the mid-high cost range?
Went down today and got the 2x phanteks.I'm assuming you want 120mm fans as I think all Antec CLCs use 120mm fans.

Fans Grandmaster Fap! suggested are both good. PH-F120MP specs are 53.3cfm, 1.72mm H2O & 1800rpm and Arctic P12 are 56cfm, 2.2mm H2O & 1800rpm so similar with Arctic P12 being a little better as well as lower priced. I have used PH-F120MP and found them to be very nice fans. I have not used Arctic P12 but others that have like them a lot. I have used Arctic F series 90mm and 120mm and found them to quite good, especially considering their low price. They are almost as good as fans costing 3-5 times more money.
PH-F120MP in 2-packs are £14.99 (£7.50 each) and 3-packs are £26.00 (£8.67 each).

Arctic P12 is £5.99.
Arctic P12 PWM PST is £5.95. PST has female fan connector so fans can be daisy-chained together instead of each needing a fan header.
As quoted directly above.arctic cooler p12's can be had cheaply
As quoted directly above.
Has anyone done any proper testing on them yet?
F = air Flow, P = static air Pressure.Sorry to jump in, what's the difference between the F and the P on the Arctic cooling fans? Looking for PWM 2 x140 intakes and 1 X 120 mm exhaust, just case fans no rads or anything for a Meshify C
Thanks
F = air Flow, P = static air Pressure.
There used to be the idea that fans were either good at creating airflow for case intake/exhaust, or good at overcoming resistance (like a radiator or heatsink fins) by creating pressure. In reality, all fans have to overcome some form of resistance so a balance is usually preferable. The Arctic P12 series was just released but F12 have been a trusty budget option for years
Your first idea sounds like a good one, I'd try that. Some people recommend pressure for intake and I'd be inclined to agree. I'm planning on all P12s on my upcoming buildOk great thanks, I like the sound and the price of these!
So if I go F for exhaust and P for intakes due to filter then or just F all round will be fine?

Got any data?just get the p12's - they are quieter and perform better.
