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.

NZXT F120Q Quiet

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid quiet fan for NZXT case owners who don't need RGB or maximum static pressure.
