Recommendations for slim 120mm radiator fans?

Top 360mm: There isn't really enough clearance to the motherboard/ram so I would like to try some slim fans to make it a little less crowded plus with 2x360mm I dont need lots of fan power

 

Front 360mm: I want to run a push/pull arrangement in my case, I tried fitting some normal 25mm thick fans to the front of my meshify s2 but it causes the front mesh panel to bulge and the front panel doesnt really fit properly and unfortunately with my res I can't mount it push pull behind the case mounting point.

 

Also what screws would I use as the ones that come with the radiator would obviously be too long?

Noctua NF-A12x15 PWM

I agree, I have one running in a HTPC case on a 120mm radiator, pretty decent and quiet even at full speed.

How do you mount them as the screws that come with the radiator will either been too short or too long?

 

Are there any less expensive options than the Noctua as I would be buying 6x of these?

I've bought some SilverStone SST-FN123 fans and 20mm M3 bolts, hopefully the threads match my radiator!

Yep, they worked! Not sure why but I thought there was variation on threads
