Ultra Slim 80mm Case Fans? [RESOLVED]

Hi, i have a sagitta II case and a True 120 inside, however the location of where the case fan should go is obstructed by a few cm's, but not by to much.

The problem is the housing on most 80mm fans are to big to fit between the heatsink and side case. I was wondering if anyone knows of where i could find a slim 80mm fan?

Cheers

i dont think its possible, ive measured the gap and its about 15mm between the side case hole too the heatsink, most 8cm fans ive seen are chunky.

Any suggestions please let me know

ahh thanks, i will take a look. Its been hard looking for one. The problem is the sticky out screw things on the true get in the way, at the moment where the case fan should go is a empty space.

Cheers mate

ok cheers, yeah most are chunky, even the 15mm wide one i might need to sand shorter or something

Theres really not much room in my case.

unless i went water cooling, i wouldnt benefit changing the TRUE, it has a push/pull config and rear 120mm fan at the back of the case, taking it out for a diddy 80mm fan would not benefit, unless i went water cooled.

Thanks for the link aswell.

Only problem is ive measured again the gap between the side case slot, and the screws on the side of the true, and its 14mm

and from the link you posted and oxy, i think 15mm's is the absolute smallest fan you can get
