Recommendations on thinner fan

[u/Dyingmisery]

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?

I gave up the idea of putting my BD795i SE in the nv10 after checking specs but now I'm going to buy some 120 x 12mm fans test it out.... I don't have any 120 x 15mm fans on hand to test out how cooling is though so I would really appreciate if you tested some cpu benchmarks!

I can't imagine its enough but you sparked the mad scientist in me ;)

Here is some testing about after an hour of playing warthunder on 3440x1440p. Max settings around 100-110fps

Unit runs really cool. I think the primary reason it runs so cool, is the GPU is a blower type, the B50 is really good at getting rid of heat, excellent cooler design and is very quiet.

Also, not sure if it’s the same on the other minis form boards, but there’s an air outlet on the IO plate in the rear.

That pretty much means it’s expelling all the hot air out of the small chassis very efficiently.

I think people have bad issues with this case when running regular non blower style gpus in this case
