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.

Fractal Design Aspect 12 RGB PWM

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A tastefully understated RGB fan for builders who want lighting that doesn't fight their case's design language.
