Well the TRUE is a monster and a takes a lot of room. If the Noctua didn't fit why did you go for a TRUE?
switching from noctua to lapped TRUE with AMD 940BE/M3A79-T

1/4in would help a lot! it would probably even let me use a 38mm fan... maybe.
where can i find a 38mm fan that would work good for me at a decent price? and do you think my temps will come down much coming from a non lapped non washer modded noctua with 2 noctua fans in push pull to a lapped/washer modded true with 1 38mm fan?

the Panaflo's have better bearings and will last longer than the Kaze but any of those will work

A good 120x38... A delta... or Panaflow that pushes about 100 CFM works great for me with a fan controler

And with the true, I have to schooch up the fan to service the RAM. But what I did was use springs instead of the stock clips which I got at a local hardware store. Picked up two tht were way to long and cut them to size. But, I did actually screw them to the fan which makes installing easier. It just takes a little needle nose plier tweaking to do the job.

Here's a TRUE in a 780i with a 38mm-thick fan for reference. I know it's different but....yeah why not.

there isn't any way that i see to mount the true horizontally, the mounting bracket that came with it only lets you mount it like this, or thats the only way i can figure out how to mount it with the supplied bracket:
