Whats the smallest case fan?

Hi all im looking for some advice on getting the smallest fan possible so i can squeeze it into my case just above my mosfets on my board as there is no cooler over them, i did try an antec spot cool but it was to big and never stayed in the position i wanted it to.

Hope you can help

Are you referring to the spec in your sig?

you can get 40mm chipset fans, but your mosfets should be pretty close to your exhaust fan anyways and i doubt you'd notice much difference. some kind of aftermarket heatsink would do them waaaay more justice

You shouldnt need one then

That case has ample cooling to cope.

The smallest fan you can get is a 40mm, but they're not particularily brilliant and a bit whiney.

ive got a 40mm x38mm deep (i think) which used to cool a dvd/home theatre system which does actually move some air to be of use & isnt too loud. otherwise i really would look at alternative solutions - as mentioned above.
