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.

Lian Li UNI FAN AL120

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The higher-output half of Lian Li's daisy-chain ARGB duo, best behind restrictive front-panel filters.
