The Best CPU Cooler Fans, Tested on H100i Radiator: P12/ARGB, NF-A12x25, Wonder Snail & ToughFan 12

This is the second in a 2-part series looking at the very best 120mm cooler fans on the market. In my first video - https://youtu.be/ERN61VyqDGA - I tested these contenders on the Noctua NH-U12S heatsink. This time around, I'm testing the same fans on a Corsair Hydro H100i 240mm liquid cooler, in order to show exactly which fans are the best for each, and which is the best overall!
