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.

Thermalright TL-C14C-S

7 / 10 Expert Rating

Outsized 140mm ARGB airflow-per-dollar from a brand built on exactly that value proposition.
