Alseye Halo D-RGB vs Xigmatek Galaxy III BX120 Arctic ARGB: which one fits your build

The Alseye Halo D-RGB suits budget ARGB fill-in fans and matching Alseye AIO cooler builds, though it is the wrong buy for high static pressure radiator duty and premium quiet builds. The Xigmatek Galaxy III BX120 Arctic ARGB is the one to take for budget multi-fan ARGB builds and value-focused case upgrades, though it is not the pick for high static pressure radiator duty and premium quiet builds. It is equally the pick for filling out fan mounts cheaply with a bundled ARGB hub and remote. Our rating of the Alseye Halo D-RGB (5/10): A budget ARGB fan good enough for filling out a case cheaply, not a fan you buy for standout performance. Our rating of the Xigmatek Galaxy III BX120 Arctic ARGB (5/10): A serviceable budget ARGB fan kit with a genuinely low noise profile, best bought for the bundled hub and remote rather than as a single premium upgrade.
