Verdict

Corsair SP140 RGB Elite

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A capable mid-range 140mm RGB fan, though the pricier ML140 PRO RGB or quieter Light Wings both outclass it in their own way.

Fractal Design Aspect 12 RGB PWM

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A tastefully understated RGB fan for builders who want lighting that doesn't fight their case's design language.
