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.

Fractal Design Dynamic X2 GP-12 PWM

7 / 10 Expert Rating

One of the quietest 120mm fans around, ideal for anyone building around Fractal's own low-noise philosophy.
