Verdict

be quiet! Silent Wings 4 120mm PWM High-Speed

8 / 10 Expert Rating

More airflow than the quiet-first competition, with a bearing rating built for a decade of running.

EK-Loop Fan FPT 120

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A strong purpose-built fan for custom loop radiators, less relevant outside that use case.
