Thin Fans

[SeeFights]

I got a H100i for crimbo and we fitted it in the case and the radiator + both fans don't actualy fit. One fan pushes against the cpu power cable and the other fan pushes on the ram slots but not the ram, not a problem but can cause problems. I can't fit them externally before you say. Just looking for thin and good fans.

Is there someplace else in the case the radiator could be mounted, like in the front as an intake? I'm not familiar with any 15mm fans that provide great static pressure.

At least you waited 3 hours to post again.

Anyway a quick search on your favourite online store will provide. You're looking for by 12mm. Scythe are the main guys who make them.

There are no amazing thin high static pressure fans really out there but the best ones as of currently are theses from cooler master:

It's only a difference of 3mm so it'll be good.

If you don't have them available looking at some alternatives the silverstone or gelid ones would be the next option

top of the case, the case is the aerocool 500. The Mobo is too close to the top resulting in the CPU power cable to be pushed on when a fan is installed along with a radiator and the DIMM slots are pushed on when a fan is installed. Before you say install the rad at the front i cant.

Isn't that just a matter of cable management? A zip tie or bracing the cable between the two corner flanges of the fan should solve that.

no it is onistly that the power cable is too high up and a fan is pushing on it, no way too fix it.

Oh, that makes more sense. 

As mentioned already, XtraFlos should work. If you can measure to see that you have enough clearance, 20mm Yate Loons may also work.
