ThermalTake Riing 12 or Cougar CFD???
Between these two case fans, which one performs better and is quieter? Which one suits overclocking best? All details are important since you're considering a 120mm size for your case.

Which of these two case fans performs better and is quieter? Which one suits overclocking best? Which offers superior performance? Please note these fans are 120mm in size, as that’s the size I’m targeting!

Expect better results with the Cougar model.
When evaluating fans, focus on CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). Higher CFM means more airflow. Also consider the dB level—normal conversation is around 60 dB, while a lawnmower might be louder.

Expect superior results with the Cougar.
When evaluating fans, focus on CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). The higher the CFM, the more air the fan moves. dB levels are also important—normal conversation is around 60 dB, lawn mowers about 90 dB, and rock concerts near 120 dB. I have two exhaust fans on top of my case that I turn on during heavy overclocking; each pulls 512 CFM and together they produce about 70dB.
It also relies on how the fans are being utilized. If they're intended for chassis fans, CFM offers good value. However, if you're using them for radiators or heatsinks, you should prioritize CFM and also consider the fan's static pressure. This reflects the fan's power and its effectiveness in moving air through tougher materials such as radiator fins or heatsinks.
