Verdict

Lian Li UNI FAN TL120

8 / 10 Expert Rating

A strong, good-looking ARGB fan for showcase builds, distinguished mainly by lighting diffusion rather than raw performance.

Noctua NF-A14 PWM

9 / 10 Expert Rating

The default recommendation for a 140mm airflow fan when looks don't matter and quiet running does.
