EK-Vardar EVO 120ER (120mm/91.0 CFM/5.31 mmH2O Static Pressure/3200 RPM Max/36.6 dBA/Fluid Dynamic Bearing/No RGB/PWM) Review

The EK-Vardar EVO 120ER (Extreme Revolution) is what shows up when someone searches for the highest static pressure fan EKWB sells for extreme custom-loop radiators.

This is a server-room-loud fan meant for hardcore overclockers running dense radiators at full tilt, not a daily-driver case fan.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the Phanteks T30-120 in our catalog, the Vardar EVO 120ER pushes noticeably more static pressure and RPM at the cost of running considerably louder at full speed. Compared with the Thermaltake TOUGHFAN 12, the EVO is the more extreme option, only worth it on the densest radiators where the TOUGHFAN can't keep up.
