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 PLUS
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A cheap way to add matching ARGB lighting across a case; not a performance pick.
