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.

EK-Loop Fan FPT 120

8 / 10 Expert Rating

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