NZXT F240 RGB Core

Bottom line: The NZXT F240 RGB Core: Single 240mm frame with both 120mm fans integrated - one cable, not four; main trade-off: fixed 240mm frame - will not mount in 280mm or 360mm radiator positions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Single 240mm frame with both 120mm fans integrated - one cable, not four
  • ✓ Works without NZXT hardware via included 5V aRGB splitter to any motherboard header
  • ✓ Fluid dynamic bearings rated for 60,000 hours of operation
  • ✓ Static-pressure blade design suits radiators and restrictive dust filters

Cons

  • ✗ Fixed 240mm frame - will not mount in 280mm or 360mm radiator positions
  • ✗ Speed and lighting control via CAM requires an NZXT controller sold separately
  • ✗ One-piece frame means a single failed fan replaces the whole unit
  • ✗ Both fans share one cable, so no independent per-fan speed curves

Manufacturer description

The NZXT F240 RGB Core takes the fiddliest part of a dual-fan install and collapses it into one piece of hardware. Instead of mounting two separate 120mm fans and daisy-chaining their power and lighting leads, you drop in a single 240mm frame with both fans already integrated and route one cable. That matters most in cramped mid-towers where cable clutter behind the motherboard tray is the difference between a clean build and a jammed side panel. Lighting and speed run through NZXT CAM when you pair the unit with an NZXT controller (sold separately), or you can skip the controller entirely…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored NZXT F240 RGB Core using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the cooling & fans category. NZXT's cooling & fans lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for cooling & fans of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the NZXT F240 RGB Core fit my case?

It needs a 240mm mounting position (2x120mm). NZXT explicitly warns it is too small for 280mm or 360mm mounts, so check your case or radiator spec before ordering.

Do I need an NZXT controller to use this fan?

No. A controller (sold separately) unlocks speed and lighting control through NZXT CAM, but you can connect to any motherboard 5V aRGB header using the included splitter cable instead.

How many fans come in the F240 RGB Core?

Two 120mm RGB fans, built into one 240mm single-frame unit sharing a single cable. You are not assembling two separate fans.

Is the NZXT F240 RGB Core quiet?

NZXT specs fluid dynamic bearings for quiet operation and a 60,000-hour lifespan.

Can this be used on a radiator or just as a case fan?

The blades are designed to boost static pressure to push air through tight spaces, which covers radiator fins and filtered intakes as well as standard case airflow.

Key Features

  • Warning - Too small for 280/360mm mounting. Please confirm if your case support 240mm (2×120mm) before ordering.
  • ALL-IN-ONE DESIGN — Single-frame unit with integrated fans streamlines installation and lighting control—no need to connect individual fans.
  • VERSATILE CONNECTIVITY — Simply connect to an NZXT controller (sold separately) for lighting and speed control via NZXT CAM software. Or, connect to any motherboard's 5V aRGB header using the included splitter cable.
  • OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE — Fan blades are designed to boost static pressure to push air through tight spaces while ensuring superior airflow.
  • SILENT & DURABLE — Fluid dynamic bearings ensure quiet performance and longevity across an exceptional 60,000 hour lifespan.
