Verdict

Phanteks M25-140 D-RGB

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A solid, well-matched 140mm companion to the M25-120, best suited to Phanteks-branded builds wanting mixed fan sizes.

Thermalright TL-D12

6 / 10 Expert Rating

A niche but genuinely useful option whenever clearance, not performance, is the limiting factor.
