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.

Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A safe, quiet, moderately-priced way to get Noctua reliability without paying premium-line prices.
