120mm Fans for Water Cooling Radiators: Round One!

In round one of this comparison I'll introduce and compare five 120mm fans that are suitable for liquid cooling radiators. If you're looking to update your AIO stock fans, or looking for custom loop fans, then you've come to the right place.

Quick note- the suggested price for the X3M and the rubber bumpers was taken directly from EK's company shop, at a glance it appears that on other US retail outlets the price can vary significantly.
