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.

Thermaltake TOUGHFAN 12

8 / 10 Expert Rating

One of the better plain-black high-pressure radiator fans, built tough for AIO and custom-loop use.
