Verdict

Arctic P8 Max

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuinely useful fan for cramped SFF builds, but only worth the noise penalty when nothing larger fits.

ID-COOLING XF-12025 ARGB TRIO

7 / 10 Expert Rating

Three lit fans and a hub for less than two premium RGB fans, with the expected drop in refinement.
