The original is a Crown AGE12025B12M. Many who have had to replace them, or just wanted to to reduce noise, have used a Noctua NF-S12A FLX, which runs a lot quieter.

Thanks very, very much for your help. I had replaced mine a long time ago but unfortunately I did so with something that did not move the same amount of air, and that fan has also since died.

FWIW, I am one of those folks, and the Noctua has worked out well (I installed it about 3 years ago).
But as far as specs go, the original Crown definitely was spec'd to move more air - 78.2 CFM (132.9 m3/hr), compared to 107.5 m3/hour for the Noctua. I haven't found any problems in practice (and the original Crown never ran full-out except for a short period during boot).
I've attached the specs for the Crown (not that easy to find anymore).
