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.

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.
