Cooler Master MasterFan SF120M

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A specialized fan for multi-fan radiator setups where reducing turbulence between adjacent fans genuinely matters.

Phanteks D30-120 Metal Chrome

A genuinely high-pressure fan wrapped in a metal-frame showpiece look, loud at full tilt but effective on thick radiators.
