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.
EKWB EK-Vardar EVO 120ER
8 / 10 Expert Rating
An extreme, loud, purpose-built radiator fan for the densest custom loops, overkill for anything less.
