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-A9 PWM
8 / 10 Expert Rating
The go-to premium option whenever a build genuinely needs a 92mm fan instead of 120mm.
