Verdict

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.

Corsair AF120 Slim

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A clearance-solving slim 120mm fan that keeps most of the airflow a standard-depth fan would give you.
