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.

Lian Li UNI FAN AL120

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The higher-output half of Lian Li's daisy-chain ARGB duo, best behind restrictive front-panel filters.
