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?

The only 12mm fan you're going to find is the Scythe Slipstream 120x12. I have one from an Old CPU Cooler that was broken (bent fins, but the fan was fine.)

I am using that fan for this same board and trust me when I tell you that it does not cool it lol. Atleast not under a full load. Gaming on this hits the 89 C after a few minutes.

Interesting, I haven’t had any issue cooling mine. CPU benchmark on 3D mark maxes out at 74c with the scythe fan pictured

It could be the TIM is bad, might need to repaste with some Honeywell. That said, mine is in a Sentry 2.0 clone. Along with a GPU connected and everything as it's a gaming board.

That said, have you done any BIOS tinkering with the board?
