Overview
The F Series RGB Core Fans offer brilliant lighting with eight individually addressable RGB LEDs and premium cooling with high static pressure.
- Eight Individually addressable LEDs mounted on the fan hub are perfectly diffused through the semi-translucent blades for a sublime lighting effect.
- A refined hub and blade design offer enhanced static pressure by pushing air through your radiator while providing great airflow. This allows for superior heat dissipation when paired with a liquid cooler or heatsink and used as intake, or exhaust.
- Personalized lighting combinations through NZXT CAM software.
- Seamlessly sync it with all your compatible NZXT lighting accessories.
- The PWM-controlled fan allows speed adjustment, offering the best cooling possible without compromising noise level.
- Fluid Dynamic Bearings deliver high rotational stability while reducing bearing noise and increasing fan lifespan up to 60,000 hours.
- Anti-vibration rubber corners dampen vibration noise at any speed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the F120 RGB Core connect?
The F120 RGB Core keeps speed and lighting separate: a 4-pin PWM connector for fan speed and a 4-pin NZXT RGB connector for lighting, with a 600 mm cable length. Each fan carries 8 LEDs that light the blades from the hub.
What do I need to control the F120 RGB Core lighting?
Lighting runs through the 4-pin NZXT RGB connector, so you need an NZXT RGB channel, such as an NZXT RGB controller, to control it in CAM. Speed control is separate, so the fan still spins under PWM from a motherboard fan header.
How much airflow does the F120 RGB Core move?
The F120 RGB Core moves 78.86 CFM with 2.57 mmH₂O of static pressure, rated at 33.88 dBA. PWM control runs it from 500 to 1,800 RPM (± 180 RPM), so speed can follow your fan curve.
