Verdict

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.

Thermaltake Riing Quad 12 RGB

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A dependable RGB case fan best bought as part of a full TT RGB Plus ecosystem rather than standalone.
