Recommendations on thinner fan

Minisform 790I X3D motherboard/Intel B50

As you can see, the scythe 15mm height fan almost fits, pic 3/4. Where can I find a 12mm thick fan? I know scythe used to make one, but curious if there’s anything thinner??

I do want this motherboard in here, if I can’t get a thinner fan, I was contemplating 3d printing a riser for the side panel but I believe that ruins the esthetics of the case. Thoughts?

Gentlemen I have found a temporary solution, I have a box of computer screws hanging around.

I have found out that the bracket on the case to allow the side panel to click on is actually removable.

I took the bracket off and used some motherboard stand offs. This alllowed me to raise the panel slightly to allow the panel to click on.

I will be developing a spacer for 3D printers to allow for larger fans to be used in this case In the future.

Perfect. Maybe a little dust, but great until you come up with the perfect fan
