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.
Phanteks D30-120 Metal Chrome
8 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely high-pressure fan wrapped in a metal-frame showpiece look, loud at full tilt but effective on thick radiators.
