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.

Phanteks M25-120 D-RGB

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A strong all-purpose high-airflow radiator fan that sits comfortably below Phanteks' flagship T30-120.
