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.
Phanteks M25-140 D-RGB
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid, well-matched 140mm companion to the M25-120, best suited to Phanteks-branded builds wanting mixed fan sizes.
