Verdict
SilverStone FQ121
7 / 10 Expert Rating
A quiet, capable static-pressure fan that undercuts the premium brands without giving up much performance.
Xigmatek Galaxy III BX120 Arctic ARGB
5 / 10 Expert Rating
A serviceable budget ARGB fan kit with a genuinely low noise profile, best bought for the bundled hub and remote rather than as a single premium upgrade.
