Verdict

Corsair AF140 Elite

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A strong plain-black high-airflow 140mm fan for builders who want zero-RPM idle without paying for RGB.

Lian Li UNI FAN AL120

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The higher-output half of Lian Li's daisy-chain ARGB duo, best behind restrictive front-panel filters.
