Verdict

Arctic P14 Max

7 / 10 Expert Rating

Genuinely excellent cooling capacity for the size, but too loud at full speed for most home builds.

Phanteks D30-120 Metal Chrome

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely high-pressure fan wrapped in a metal-frame showpiece look, loud at full tilt but effective on thick radiators.
