Verdict

Lian Li UNI FAN AL120

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The higher-output half of Lian Li's daisy-chain ARGB duo, best behind restrictive front-panel filters.

Noctua NF-P14s redux-1500 PWM

7 / 10 Expert Rating

Solid mid-range 140mm option that trades Noctua's premium finish for a friendlier price.
