Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the box with the F420U?

The F420U box contains the fan frame, an Adapter Cable and installation accessories. Three 140 mm fans are built into one frame, so you mount and wire a single piece instead of three separate fans.

Will the F420U fit a 420 mm radiator?

The F420U measures 420 x 140 x 25 mm, matching a 420 mm radiator mount in one piece. Each of its three 140 mm fans is rated at 5.1 mmH₂O of static pressure at full speed, the figure that matters for pushing air through a radiator.

How quiet can the F420U run?

At 27 dBA, each F420U fan spins at 1,700 RPM and still moves 61.73 CFM. At full speed it reaches 92.2 CFM at 36.9 dBA, with PWM control from 500 to 2,400 RPM (± 240 RPM).

How many LEDs does the F420U have, and how does it connect?

The F420U is listed with 96 LEDs and connects through a single NZXT 8-pin connector on a 600 mm cable that carries both fan power and lighting. Each fan has 7 blades.

What warranty does the F420U have?

The F420U is covered by a 5-year warranty, and its fluid dynamic bearings are rated for 60,000 hours. It comes in black (RF-E42US-BA) or white (RF-E42US-WA); use the model number to confirm the colorway on a retailer listing.
