Hi.
so my haf 922 is to short. and if i want my top mounted 240 to clear my ram retention clips. i need to use 12.5 or possibly 15mm thick fans. (i would probably get 12.5 if possible just to be extra sure they will clear)

I have had a look arround but cant really see any that arent simply for air flow.
I could mount my current fans on the top of the case outside of it but i really dont want to do that.
Because the fans will be exhausting air in a pull setup i dont need them to have any fancy led's
they dont need to be overly crazy in power either i think this rad is 10-14 fins per inch so the static pressure doesn't need to be that extreme either.

3 pin or 4 pin fans are fine too as i use Speed fan for my fan speeds and it can even control 2 pin fans if needed. so not an issue there.
any way thanks in advance.


=#edit#= I bought the 12mm fans i found.

I've run the H100i in pull for a few weeks now and noticed little difference in performance between push or pull, though pull is a little quieter.
 
i dont really mind push vs pull set up. but my issue is with 25mm fans (just 1 set) the radiator will not clear my ram clips so it cant be mounted using the mounting holes.
right now i am forced to use washers and line up my mounting points on the fans with vent holes on the haf 922.

i dont like that setup so was wondering about the thinner 12.5-15mm thick fans. and which would work best if any one knew.
 
so i found some scythe kaze juni slim slip stream 120x120x12mm fans..
ridiculous at 2000rpm 35db. and i cant find any info about static pressure.
they should be running at about 10-20% power though so maybe wont be that loud when set up.
and the rad they are going on is not that restrictive compared to my other ones.
but if any one has any better ideas for a 12mm or 15mm thick fan. please let me know before i commit to these thanks.
 
Just a thought but can't you just mod the roof of the case and make holes further to the left? Give you more ram clearance and can still fit normal thick sized fans. Honestly the skinny ones aren't worth it at all.
 
i really dont want to start modding the case.
right now with my set up i have my fans on 20% all the time and never go above 65c even with stress testing.
the only reall option i have for using 25mm fans would be to either mount the fans outside the case, which i really dont want to do.
or snap 1/2 of the memory clips off my ram sockets. "which i also dont want to do"

right now i do have the radiator mounted in there. but im having to attatch the fans to the vent holes instead of the mounting holes. and i then have to use washers outside the case so the screws dont simply go through the vent holes.
this also has a side effect that i am only able to get 3 screws to hole the whole 240mm rad to the case instead of the usual 8

here is the only picture i have available.
but that top rad is at an angle so i could line up as many screw holes with vent holes as possible.

you should also be able to see that there is no way its clearing the ram clips.
