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.

Phanteks SK123-140 D-RGB

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A well-rounded 140mm intake fan for Phanteks cases that want lighting without sacrificing airflow.
