Verdict
ID-COOLING XF-12025 ARGB TRIO
7 / 10 Expert Rating
Three lit fans and a hub for less than two premium RGB fans, with the expected drop in refinement.
SilverStone AP121
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A competent, unremarkable fan best chosen for brand consistency in a SilverStone build rather than outright performance.
