Verdict

Corsair iCUE Link RX120

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A clean, quiet workhorse fan that only really makes sense once you're bought into iCUE Link's single-cable wiring.

Phanteks M25-120 D-RGB

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A strong all-purpose high-airflow radiator fan that sits comfortably below Phanteks' flagship T30-120.
