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 T30-120

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The best radiator fan you can buy at any sensible price, disqualified by geometry more often than by cost.
