be quiet! Pure Wings 3 140mm PWM
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A perfectly adequate budget 140mm fan, but the rifle bearing means it's not the one to buy for a decade of runtime.
Cooler Master MasterFan MF120 Halo
7 / 10 Expert Rating
The pick within Cooler Master's lineup when dual-ring lighting matters more than raw airflow.
