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.

EKWB EK-Vardar EVO 120ER

8 / 10 Expert Rating

An extreme, loud, purpose-built radiator fan for the densest custom loops, overkill for anything less.
