Looking for good fans

So here is the Ncase M1, mini-itx case. i have 2 fans as intake on the side, cooling the GPU radiator, and adding more airflow to the CPU heatsink directly while letting heat go up passively to exit the case. I have an old 120mm slim fan that i decided to put in the bottom of my case, to allow air to come in from the bottom, and wiggle around the gpu and help heat escape through the top faster and easier. i noticed a decent drop in my GPU temp, and CPU temp (only a few C in the cpu case)

I have 3 Silent Wings 3 (including the cpu heatsink), and was wondering if any of you all know of any slim fans that are PWM controllable, silent, and move a decent amount of airflow.

120mm is preferred. 2 of them in the bottom

Can you post a shot of your internal setup? I have that case with normal thickness fans and everything stays cool while still being quiet. I have intake on the side and bottem, 4 fans in total. I blocked off the top vent with tape so the air has to flow past the cpu and around the MB. Also I tapped off the front holes since its a waste to send air out that way as it doesn't flow past anything useful. All exhaust happens in the back and left side vents.BJo3tZ2.jpg

i was wondering for slim fans because i would have to take the GPU out every time i wish to change them, or take them out if i wish. and the fans a butt up against my gpu so there is almost no airflow in the case if i put the normal 25mm thick fans. the 15mm thick ones i can slide in and out without taking anything apart, and also blows air around the gpu
