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.

SilverStone AP121

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A competent, unremarkable fan best chosen for brand consistency in a SilverStone build rather than outright performance.
