Best slim radiator fans? silent? pressure?

[cluelessgenius]

so i need slim fans for radiator use. that  part is non negotiable

 

so being the noctua fanboy i am i was looking at the a12x15 

but they look more like airflow fans with little pressure . i mean still could be fine

but i thought maybe there slim fans just as quiet and better for pressure?

arctic and silverstone have some options that look interesting but i dont know

"For best results in all types of application, Noctua recommends the NF-A12x25.

The 15mm slim NF-A12x15 is only recommended for space-restricted applications where the standard 25mm thick models would not fit. In all other cases, the 120x25mm models will provide better results. "

 

Taking a look at this page might help you:

Unless your rads have a super restrictive fpi count and/or are really thick, you shouldn't need to overly worry about static pressure.

This one: https://www.xs-pc.com/radiators-tx-series/tx240-ultrathin-radiator

 

XSPC notes that: "With 13 tubes and 22 fins per inch it's the highest density core XSPC have ever released, but due to the thinness of the core it still performs with low speed fans." So you should be bueno with slim fans

Arctic P12 SLIM PWM PST should be really good (just a bit below Noctua), and Alphacool SL-15 PWM got a good review here (link below). And the Noctua is a good choice as well.
