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.

Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 RGB

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A dependable RGB case fan best bought as part of a full TT RGB Plus ecosystem rather than standalone.
