Epilogue
The Jonsbo SL-120 is offered at a very competitive price, currently priced at 8 euros on Caseking.de. Given its good airflow, the ARGB lighting, and the daisy chain feature, you get a lot for your money. This is the ideal fan if you want to cool down your chassis and have a nice ARGB spectacle at the same time.
Let’s now look at 25 dBA noise-normalized performance. I chose 25 dBA because it is low enough not to annoy most users and high enough to allow for speeds that offer decent airflow and static pressure performance.
At 25 dBA, the fan’s airflow is decent, but its static pressure is among the lowest. Nonetheless, at 8 euros, you get decent airflow, ARGB lighting, and a daisy chain feature, so it is not bad at all. On the contrary!
If you want better airflow and ARGB lighting, you could also consider the Montech GF120 ARGB, but keep in mind that this fan costs 13 euros and has even lower static pressure. If you want top airflow without spending much, look at the Thermalright TL-C12B V2, which, however, doesn’t have ARGB lighting.
