Hi everyone!

 

As the title says, I'm looking for recommendations for thin 120mm radiator fans for my build. I currently using Arctic F12 PMW's but I would like to put something thinner on my system.

 

Thanks!

(EDIT) Also, are there any software controlled fan controllers out there?

Sorry this is no answer to your question.

How are the Artics? I'm thinking of buying the 5-pack for a new build

@jonahadami, Personally I love the F12's. Super quite and I've never had one go bad. I just picked up another 5 pack of them myself for $35 on eBay.

 

I know that the Noctua's have a better reputation, but IMO their colors suck and they are about twice the price of the Arctic's.

Scythe has some very slim fans I believe. They are not the quietest tho but you can always undervolt them a little

They are flawless, especially for the money. If 20 usd for a single fan doesn't sound right to you, arctics are probably the best choice.

noctua nf a12x15? Raijintek used to be the go-to brand for slim fans. I'm sure scythe has a few too.

Btw they are much less effective than 25mm thick fans.. Unless those are the only fans that fit, don't use slims.

Thanks @00RaZoR11! The Raijintek's look like what I need:
