Electric Fan Replacement Options?

Hello, all!

My fan finally died on me, and I'll be looking to replace it very soon. When browsing these forums one day I scarcely remember someone mention a better fan replacement for best cooling over the stock fan. Can someone square me away on what my options are that'll fit our 'birds?

PS: I searched pretty hard but came up with no threads that specifically suggested better fans over stock. Thanks in advance!

I did this:

However, if you have a stock electric fan that was adequate for cooling I would just keep using it and put a new motor on it. There have been some other decent fan upgrades mentioned too. Search the cooling thread series.

Thanks, Aaron! I feel pretty dumb. I went straight to the search feature and didn't look at all of the sections here. There's a section specific to Cooling I didn't even see. Sorry, all! I found some info on what I was looking for. Can let this thread sink!
