Verdict

EKWB EK-Vardar EVO 120ER

8 / 10 Expert Rating

An extreme, loud, purpose-built radiator fan for the densest custom loops, overkill for anything less.

Enermax T.B.Silence PWM

8 / 10 Expert Rating

An excellent value pick for anyone who wants Noctua-like quiet airflow without the Noctua price tag.
