Quiet 2400 rpm fan?

[colm]

This is my yearly pursuit for an answer. I have in another thread my antec 2600 and cooled by just 3 fans.. the fastest was 1800 rpm (psu) with an xp90 on my hot tamale 2.8e ht cpu. All was well until I re-encoded a movie for the web recently. Originally was 1080p High Definition (3 minutes long 235 mb). Anyway my pc hit 160 degrees . The silent nexus fan for cpu reverse cooling no longer effective. I put back in the 2400 rpm 3 speed.
All is well again , except..
Do they make more than a 3 speed 80mm fan @ .16A (2400 rpm)?

Believe it or not... This is my eight year, not finding anything close. The Nexus silent .14a is fantastic, but not heavy duty enough It had many speeds and my MB knew it. I do know I need to step it up to .16a, and I really want it as 80mm for my ductwork and setup with many speeds. Any ideas by chance?
Regardless of cost.. I will purchase if it exists. (someone could guess what I paid for my nexus .14)

EDIT:
I just found a possibility.. any opinions?

160*F as a load temperature of a Pentium 4 is fine.

I agree. Been close to that as a max for a year. 160 was my personal line drawn. after replacing the 1700 rpm for the 2400 and re-encoding again. I have proven to myself it really needs it.
The silenX fan in first post link is what I am pursuing next..
I see it came out in may 2006... a few months after my last pc build and browsing for parts (just missed a nice fan).
1000 rpm range must be more than the "getting old" 3 speed of only 500 rpm changes. Also on that site was 9 good opinions to make up my mind.

EDIT: I'm a dufus. I looked the nexus over closely.. it still had the burnt pancake episode that nearly had the fire department at my place all over it. I cleaned thoroughly (second time in one year) and back to normal.

There really is no fan that has matched this one yet. 988 rpm to exactly 1704 (4 rpm off the 1700 rpm advertised!) and many steps inbetween. My computer from what I can gather, has 8 throttling positions for the cpu fan. this nexus 80mm is the only one I have found that can do it and report accurately. Would love it to be 1000 to 2000 , all steps inbetween, always reporting. But no. 1987 year 80mm case fans seem to be a standard old folks don't want to let go of.
Someone have a really nice 80mm as mentioned? Would love to know about it (besides this 25 dollar nexus).

isnt that an oxymoron?

is any fan "quiet" at 2400rpm?

personally anything faster than 1000rpm is too loud for me.

Same here.
