Verdict
Alseye Halo D-RGB
5 / 10 Expert Rating
A budget ARGB fan good enough for filling out a case cheaply, not a fan you buy for standout performance.
Noctua NF-F12 PWM
9 / 10 Expert Rating
The benchmark focused-flow 120mm fan for CPU coolers, still worth the premium for the one or two fans that actually sit on a heatsink.
