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.
Thermalright TL-C12C-S
7 / 10 Expert Rating
Noctua-adjacent quiet operation at budget pricing, which is exactly what a six-fan build needs.
