There are none. Noctuas aren't for everyone, but are premium. Some like Corsair fans, others adore Gelid Wing fans. Some people swear Noise Blocker fans are better than Noctua. People brag on Gentle Typhoons for rads..it depends on aplication and preference. :v

As a bonus you can fly on it :P
 
 
 
For the best REAL fan nocuas are the most quiet, most non-generic brands should preform at most 5 degrees difference weather it matters is up to you :)

Noctua NF-F12

Or if you prefer them in black beQuiet Silent Wings 2

Noctua is still better but locks like the colors of mud and dog poo mixed...

Possibly why they're gonna release the black ones sometimes. I hope it's soon. I'm planning on using them in the future when I get my old rig done :)

Honestly nothing comes close to the price / performance of corsair AF/SP 120 / 140 2 packs performance edition, but you gotta have to live with some noise.

 

AF(Air flow) for intakes and SP (Static pressure) for radiators if you wonder.

Yes, in my own system I use Corsair fans and I love them once they're installed...but those rubber corners....man they are frustrating.

In my opinion the best fans are the Noctua NF-F12 and Noctua NF-P12. The difference is only in the RPM - F12 has 1500RPM and P12 has 1300RPM. 

PS: I currently have Noctua NF-P12 installed in my system and they are awesome!

Simple topic, what do you think the best fans for air cooling are? Price is irrelevant and I'm running in a Cosmos 2 so I have a hell of a lot of space too. So what are the best fans available?

Anything from Noctua.
