Verdict

NZXT F140 RGB Core

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A simple, case-matching budget 140mm fan for NZXT builds that don't need RGB.

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.
