Any 120mm fan should work on it. Good fan brands include Antec, Noctua and Scyther. These are expensive though. Anything above a crappy eBay unbranded fan should serve you well.

You need an SP (static pressure) fan. These are designed to push air through restricted spaces, such as heatsinks.

The standard fan is pretty good and most third-party fans, such as a Corsair SP120, don't offer a worthwhile improvement. A Noctua NF-F12 will provide better performance but don't expect it to be quieter.

Yes, but that particular fan has an industrial version, which is black.

You can use a splitter for a push/pull configuration, but the temperature improvement isn't much to shout about. You also need to consider RAM clearance.

For push/pull an arctic cooling f12 pwm co paired with an f12 pwm PST co will do nicely .
These retail for less than $10 each & the PST fan has an online splitter to run both fans from a single CPU header.

There's a pack of 5 from newegg at $24 !!
