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.

Xigmatek Galaxy III BX120 Arctic ARGB

5 / 10 Expert Rating

A serviceable budget ARGB fan kit with a genuinely low noise profile, best bought for the bundled hub and remote rather than as a single premium upgrade.
