Verdict

ID-COOLING SF-12025-RGB

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A budget-friendly static-pressure ARGB fan that makes a credible case against pricier radiator fans.

Noctua NF-F12 PWM

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The benchmark focused-flow 120mm fan for CPU coolers, still worth the premium for the one or two fans that actually sit on a heatsink.
