Verdict

Cooler Master MasterFan MF120 Prism

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A reasonable mid-tier RGB fan, worth it mainly for the mirror-finish look rather than outright performance.

Corsair AF120 Elite

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A clean, quiet airflow fan for mesh cases, though the Arctic F12 PWM matches it for less money.
