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.

EK-Loop Fan FPT 120

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A strong purpose-built fan for custom loop radiators, less relevant outside that use case.
