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.

Xigmatek Galaxy III BX120 Arctic ARGB

5 / 10 Expert Rating

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.
