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.

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.
