I am looking for an 80x80x15 cooling fan that has the most CFM possible.

All I could find where manufacturer's Web site, not resellers.

Thanks in advance!

Such a low thickness to diameter ratio will mean there's
diminishign return on highest RPM, that beyond a certain RPM
you're making more noise and wearing bearings more than
you're moving additional air. For that reason alone it's
unlikely you'd find any reputable fan manufacturers
producing them with over 4-5K RPM, and within similar RPM
range any similar fan design will have similar airflow...
close enough to not make much difference in selection.

If possible it'd be a lot better to choose a thicker fan,
but here are a couple,

If this fan is for the underside of a power supply, you
might check on whether a thicker fan could be mounted on the
outside wall of the PSU instead of the inside, if there's
enough clearance between it and the case brackets and CPU
heatsink, etc.

Other alternatives include returning to the fan
manufacturers' pages where you saw the fans, copying the
specific model # of the fans you're looking for (sometimes
just the first half of the model # for the size instead of
the whole string as the end can vary based on included
options).

Of course with any of these rarer sizes you're less likely
than ever to find it happened to have the correct power
connector already on it. The 'site linked above
(svcompucycle) also sells fan adapters you could solder a
fan's leads to, heat-shrink tubing and molex pins &
connectors if they're needed. They won't sell the narrower
2mm pin-spacing plugs that're used in "some" power supplies
or on "some" video cards, AFAIK.
 
Thanks.

It's actually for automotive use, I need to check if I can cool down a
couple items inside a motor.
 
There are some maglev fans here. They sound like fun.

So it looks like a more ordinary fan will be 24 CFM.

Paul, thanks, but this is a manufacturer's Web site, you cannot buy from
them unless you are a distributor or an integrator.

I am looking for consumers Web site that sell to individuals.

Thanks anyway.
