Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Ultra RGB range different from other NZXT fans?
Lighting density and blade count. The F120U carries 32 LEDs and uses an 11-blade rotor, which gives a denser, more even glow than a hub-lit fan.
It runs from 500 to 2,250 RPM, moving 60.0 CFM at 2.4 mmH2O and 32.2 dBA at full tilt.
How quiet is the F120U in normal use?
At a 27 dBA noise target it settles around 1,800 RPM, still moving 50.0 CFM at 1.50 mmH2O.
Full speed is 32.2 dBA, so most builds can sit near the quieter figure and only ramp up under sustained load.
How do I connect and control the F120U?
It ships with a 4-pin PWM lead plus an NZXT 4-pin RGB connector, and also works with a 3-pin 5V ARGB header. Two 600 mm cables and an adapter cable are included.
Pair it with an NZXT controller for full effect control in CAM, or run it from a 5V ARGB header for basic motherboard control.
How long does the F120U last?
The fluid dynamic bearing is rated for 60,000 hours, and the fan is covered by a 5-year warranty.
Should I choose the F120U or the F140U?
Pick by the mount your case has. If it takes 140 mm fans, the F140U moves noticeably more air: 92.2 CFM at 5.1 mmH2O against 60.0 CFM at 2.4 mmH2O.
The F140U also carries 64 LEDs on a 7-blade rotor, where the F120U uses 32 LEDs and 11 blades. Both share the same bearing, 60,000-hour rating and 5-year warranty.
