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.

Thermalright TL-C12C-S

7 / 10 Expert Rating

Noctua-adjacent quiet operation at budget pricing, which is exactly what a six-fan build needs.
