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-F12 PWM
9 / 10 Expert Rating
The benchmark focused-flow 120mm fan for CPU coolers, still worth the premium for the one or two fans that actually sit on a heatsink.
