Verdict
Corsair ML120 PRO RGB
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A proven radiator fan for RGB loops that need real static pressure, if you're willing to tune the PWM curve down from its noisy top end.
DeepCool CF120
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A capable, quiet entry-level ARGB fan, upgrade to the CF120 PLUS if you want more visual presence.
