Verdict

Corsair LL120 RGB

6 / 10 Expert Rating

Still a good-looking fan for iCUE builds chasing the dual light-ring look, but outperformed by Corsair's own newer lineup.

Corsair QX120 RGB

8 / 10 Expert Rating

Excellent performance and the cleanest cabling in the catalog, but only worth it inside Corsair's LINK ecosystem.
