NZXT F280 RGB Core - 280mm Single-Frame Fan Unit with 2 x 140mm RGB Fans - Speed & Lighting Control - High Static Pressure & Airflow - Fluid Dynamic Bearings - 8 aRGB LEDs Per Fan - Black

Excellent concept from NZXT, these fans are superb in every way. The fans cannot be daisy linked but they only have 1 cable/connector which will plug into the new hubs when available, for now NZXT have supplied an adapter cable so you can use an existing NZXT hub or plug them direct into the motherboard.The RGB can be controlled with the NZXT Cam software or your motherboards own software if you’ve connected them to a 5v ARGB port.Really rich and vibrant colours from the RGB lights, an all round excellent designed and performing fan.My only quibble is they are a little noisy at their maximum speed.

Exactly as desribed, not just gorgeous but also very easy and simple to install unless you want to control the rgb and speed, in that case you need a nzxt hub whic is more complicated to add. But if u just need it for what its manifactured for ---> cooling then you wont regret it

Definitely not something you NEED but its a very nice touch to the pc if you have a glass panel case or like myself totally exposed guts.Definitely not only paying for the LED’s as the fans themselves are very effective for temps and are very quiet so i would definitely say you get quality for the price.

The media could not be loaded. I currently have a 7800X3D system inside a Thermaltake Tower 200 case. The Tower 200 has a specific side-mounting bracket for 120mm or 140mm fans, so I went with the F280 140mm frame here. The advantage of the "single frame fan" is that you can run 2 fans from a minimum of a single cable, so you basically just screw the fans into place inside your case, connect up a fan header, and you're done. You can use a PWM fan header (4 pins) which will dynamically change the fan speed based on system temperatures. If you also have an RGB controller system either on the motherboard itself or a seperate controller box, you can change the lighting effects on the fan too. I believe you can also use the F280 as fans for a CPU liquid-cooling AIO radiator.Out of the box, the F280 has a proprietary NZXT connector on the cable, but you also get an adapter included which will work on any 4-pin fan header and any 5-volt RGB controller and which also lengthens the cable by about 20cm. The cabling is long enough that I was able to use my motherboard's SYSFAN and JARGB_V2_2 connectors on opposite corners of a microATX motherboard without stretching or straining anything. Once connected up, you can now fiddle with various settings inside your BIOS cooling tab or whatever software your motherboard uses. I have an MSI motherboard, and the built-in "Mystic Light" setup on it works with the F280 here. I set up the F280 to reflect the CPU temperature, changing colour from Green > Red as the CPU heats up with use, and you can have loads of different other visual effects according to whatever RGB controller you're using. In use, these 140mm fans aren't totally silent, but neither are they especially noisy. In the attached video, you can watch them cycling colours as I launch 3DMark and the CPU & video card rev-up (the mic is also right next to the case; it's not as loud as it sounds !).It's all fairly easy to set up, just depending on how easy your case is to access things. Annoyingly, the F280 fans don't have an airflow direction marker on the frame anywhere, and the first time I set it up it was backwards, sucking air out of the case rather than pulling it in, so I had to unscrew it all and flip it around, although with the Tower 200 and the F280, this only takes 5 minutes in all. It's also a little pricey, I think - fundamentally, these are just two medium-sized fans....for £45......but you also only need 2 connectors to get it all running. If I'd gone for 2 individual fans instead, I'd need to have checked I could daisy-chain them, or use multiple fan headers etc. etc. and this is basically a much simpler way of doing things overall. There are also not many of these double fan setups out there to buy in the first place, which kinda limits your options.

Easy to install, installed it in my custom bit PC with a NZXT Fan Hub. Software for Light Customization works great too.

look amazing in gamdias p1 neso pro case. nzxt has always top quality 👌

Let’s me not deter any buyers here as these at lovely well made fans and super quiet and smooth. One cable for 3 fans is perfect for mother boards with limited space. However out of every 1000 items there will likely be one that’s not right and this was the one.Horrendous clicking noise at fan full speed. Sounded like a wire inside getting stuck on fan but as a closed unit of 3 was unable to fix this. Also only 1/2 rgb would work.Did troubleshoot entire pc and look for workarounds but sound might be a lose wire or a bad bearing at high speed.This did not deter me and have ordered a like for like replacement that I will leave a new review on once installed.The make and quality of these is superb - just bad luck I got the one I did

Gone are the days of linking multiple fans together to cool your case, these units come with only one wire which makes controlling them very easy. Previously you would have to buy 2x 120mm fans and then daisy chain the cables together with a splitter… this 240mm unit just simply has one wire which controls both fans simultaneously.The fans RGB is very bright but also customisable with NZXT Cam, the fans speed and noise levels are also customisable with the same software. Very easy to fit inside most cases with appropriate hardware.
