Verdict

Deepcool FC120

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A well-rounded daisy-chain ARGB fan that undercuts Lian Li on price for similar cable-management convenience.

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.
