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.

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.
