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.

The current best overall case fan — class-leading static pressure at a class-leading noise ceiling, a genuine generational upgrade over the original.
