## What reviewers say

Two whitelisted testers both give the Lancool 216 top budget honors with Editor's Choice. Tom's Hardware reviewed the base non-RGB $100 model; TechPowerUp reviewed the $110 RGB trim. Both praise the dual 160mm front fans, excellent cooling, flexible cable management, versatile layout (vertical GPU, raised motherboard, E-ATX support) and strong value, while flagging that it runs loud (notably at idle) and that ARGB control requires a controller sold separately. Tom's adds a measured ~10 C GPU-temp benefit from the PCIe/GPU fan bracket. Non-whitelisted outlets (GamersNexus, KitGuru, OC3D) were excluded. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2022-11-11–2022-12-02.)

Praised: Dual 160mm front fans deliver excellent cooling; Strong value / price-performance at roughly $100-110; Excellent, flexible cable management; Versatile layout: vertical GPU, raised motherboard, E-ATX support; PCIe/GPU fan bracket meaningfully cuts GPU temps (~10 C in Tom's testing).
Flagged: Runs loud, especially noticeable at idle; ARGB/RGB controller not included - sold separately as an optional accessory (Tom's: +$15); Motherboard install is fiddly to enable the GPU fan bracket.
Disagreement: No cross-source disagreement - both award Editor's Choice and top budget marks. The only difference is trim and emphasis: Tom's Hardware reviewed the non-RGB model and highlights the PCIe fan's measured ~10 C GPU-temp benefit, while TechPowerUp reviewed the RGB variant and frames idle noise as the main tradeoff.
