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.

Scythe Kaze Flex II 120 PWM

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A dependable, quiet mainstream fan with nothing flashy about it, which is exactly the point.
