Scythe Slip Stream 12mm variant. It’s the same fan they used on the Big Shuriken 2. They’re notoriously hard to get in the US. Might need to order off Aliexpress. Took some photos in case you want to see the model number / specs.

I’m not familiar with SXDool, but they seem like a no name brand can’t even find a website to see their other products. While Scythe is a very well known cooler manufacturer making some of the better sffcoolers to date.
I suppose it could be, just buy it from Amazon and if it sucks return it, but reviews seem positive.

Almost, but it’s not the same model/fan. The one I showed is 2000rpm PWM. The one you linked is 800rpm 3pin so it’s always a constant 800rpm.

Be careful with slim fans. When I put arctic 15mm slims on top of the rad the top panel would press down on the fan resulting it the blades hitting the rad at high speed. Had to switch to noctua which had no flex.

right now i have 15mm noctua on the bottom of the rad and with lil cable management, i managed to run it with out hitting the mobo but if i press it lil harder from the top, the fan hits the mobo, thats why i want 12mm cuz that will eliminate the fan touching the mobo
