so, I recently got a all in 1 water cooler which is great and I love it. Only problem is, I put it on my rear exhaust and the radiator is blocking a spot where I wanted to put another exhaust fan on the top of my case. 

 

should I get a fan that's smaller then 24mm (or whatever the standard for a 120mm fan is) or should I move my radiator? 

 

also fan recommendations in general, preferably with blue LEDs and 120mm.

I should probably clarify, the radiator was just too long and barely made the fan unable to fit due to the...height of it, I believe? I didn't do too well in geometry so I'm sorry if that didn't make sense.

 

POINT IS IM JUST ASKING FOR SLIM 120MM FAN SUGGESTIONS AND I KINDA DONT CARE ABOUT PERFORMANCE JUST WOULD LIKE ANOTHER FAN.

Question 1: Does your case have feet so it's lifted from the ground? 

Question 2: If yes, does your case have a spot next to the power supply where you may mount a fan? If yes, then I would do that instead just cause you save the hassle and have the same effect.

I believe it has feet, and I don't know if there's a spot for a fan by it. 

 

but it what should I put there, just another fan or my radiator? 

 

If another fan, I'm wanting it to be a exhaust fan (I didn't clarify that, so my bad I'm sorry.) because I currently only have one exhaust fan in my system which is clearly pretty bad..

I would put another fan there drawing air inwards to your case so that air flows up and out the case as well as back through the rear mounted radiator you have going on. 

 

Alternatively you could have 2 fans on that one radiator like a sandwich!

You could have taken some pictures and or, give fan, case and radiator model. No slim fan is good enough for watercooling unless you have a low fin radiator and a low ambient.

I can get pictures in abit, I was at school. And I don't intend to have the fan on the radiator, I intended to have it on the top of my case which is being blocked by radiator. 

 

radiator and fan I have with it is perfectly fine, just would like another exhaust fan since I currently only have one.

So what you really want is fan options for an exhaust?

 

Really almost any fan is fine for an exhaust case fan just expelling air but below is a very low noise, high static pressure fan that works great for intake/exhaust/radiator.
