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.

Thermaltake TOUGHFAN 12

8 / 10 Expert Rating

One of the better plain-black high-pressure radiator fans, built tough for AIO and custom-loop use.
