Verdict

Corsair ML140 PRO RGB

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A quiet, glowing 140mm fan best suited to case airflow rather than radiator duty.

EKWB EK-Vardar X3M 120ER D-RGB

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A strong balance of high static pressure and RGB lighting for custom-loop builders who don't want the EVO's noise.
