Low-Profile 80mm Fans

[MattR]

Hey all. I was looking for an 80mm fan like the L1A that is as thin as possible and found the ZM-OP1. It's supposed to be an add-on for the ZM80C-HP vga heatsink but it looks like it will work as a CPU cooler (I'm planning on using it on the AX-7, specifically). When you run it at 5V/1400rpms it has specs similar to the panaflow (I can't seem to find that information now but I could swear it's approximately 20cfm at 20dB).

Have any of you had experience with this fan (and specifically to cool an XP1900) or can you recommend any other 15mm (or other size less than 25mm) fan?

Thanks!

Thanks - that is exactly what I'm looking for. Would you (or anyone else) happen to have experience using that fan as a CPU cooler?

I guess what I'm really wondering is if reality is in line with the manufacturer's numbers. Is the fan really running around 20dB / nearly silent and is it pushing 20cfm / plenty of air?
