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.

Xigmatek Galaxy III BX120 Arctic ARGB

5 / 10 Expert Rating

A serviceable budget ARGB fan kit with a genuinely low noise profile, best bought for the bundled hub and remote rather than as a single premium upgrade.
