Which should you buy, Corsair LL120 RGB or DeepCool FK120?

The Corsair LL120 RGB is the one to take for iCUE-based RGB builds and case intake/exhaust with visible ring lighting, though it is not built for high-restriction radiator duty and silent builds. The DeepCool FK120 suits white or black non-RGB builds and quiet general case airflow, though it is not the pick for RGB-focused builds and high static pressure radiator duty. Our rating of the Corsair LL120 RGB (6/10): still a good-looking fan for iCUE builds chasing the dual light-ring look, but outperformed by Corsair's own newer lineup. Our rating of the DeepCool FK120 (6/10): A solid, quiet non-RGB fan for white or black builds that don't need lighting.

Where the two are identical

The common ground is wider than the gap: fan size, connector type, pwm control and colorway are identical here.
