good slim case fans?

[magicammo]

hello all im in the need of some slim case fans for my ncase m1 I had some 120mm noctua fans but the fan on my GPU brushed against them and wasnt the best sound to hear.
Im looking for some good 120mm slim fans anyone have any suggestions? I found the Raijintek Aeolus B but there isnt not much info on them

Most slim fans out there aren't that good in terms of performance, Noctua does make a 15mm version of the NF-A12 fans

are you putting them right overtop the GPU fans? chances are they wont make much difference if at all.

You're probably better off removing the graphics card shroud and using 25mm case fans directly on the heatsink like NF-F12's or NF-A12x25's.

Yeah, exactly. The original plan is to have two fans directly behind each other. I guess it would be better to remove the shroud and use one pair of propper fans to bring the air directly to the heatsink.
