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.
Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap
9 / 10 Expert Rating
Same excellent A12x25 performance in a colorway that fits black-themed builds without a sticker or paint job.
