NZXT F120 RGB Core 120mm 1800 RPM Fluid Dynamic Bearing RGB White Single Fan
NZXT F120 RGB Core is a single 120mm RGB case fan finished in white. Each fan delivers up to 78.86 CFM airflow and 2.57 mmH₂O static pressure at 500–1,800 RPM. It uses a fluid dynamic bearing rated for 60,000 hours and includes eight individually addressable RGB LEDs mounted on the fan hub. Available at Alfrensia for 649 EGP.
⚡ Engineering Highlights at a Glance:
- 120mm Single-Fan Design: Standard 120mm mounting with a 26mm thickness that fits most case and radiator mounting points.
- Balanced Airflow and Pressure: Up to 78.86 CFM and 2.57 mmH₂O at 1,800 RPM, suitable for intake, exhaust, and 120mm radiators.
- Fluid Dynamic Bearing: Rated for 60,000 hours of quiet, stable operation across the speed range.
- Eight RGB LEDs: Individually addressable LEDs mounted on the fan hub, diffused through semi-translucent blades for gradient effects.
- PWM Speed Control: 4-pin PWM connector adjusts speed from 500 to 1,800 RPM based on system temperature.
- Anti-Vibration Corners: Rubber corners dampen vibration noise at any speed.
- Separate Speed and Lighting: A 4-pin PWM connector controls speed and a 4-pin NZXT RGB connector controls lighting, each with a 600mm cable.
Who is the NZXT F120 RGB Core For?
Expert Advice & Build Considerations
Connecting and Controlling the Fan
The F120 RGB Core keeps speed and lighting separate. The 4-pin PWM connector plugs into a motherboard fan header, and the 4-pin NZXT RGB connector plugs into an NZXT RGB channel. To control lighting through NZXT CAM, you need an NZXT RGB controller or a compatible NZXT motherboard, which is not included. Without an NZXT RGB channel, the fan still spins through PWM, but you cannot control its lighting effects.
Case Fit and Mounting
The fan measures 120 x 120 x 26mm, slightly thicker than some 25mm fans. Confirm that your case or radiator has at least 26mm of fan clearance in the mounting position. Each connector has a 600mm cable, which is long enough for most mid-tower cases. Plan cable routing before installation so the two cables reach their respective headers without strain.
Noise and Fan Curves
At full speed, the fan reaches 33.88 dBA, which is audible but moderate for a 120mm fan. Use PWM control to set a fan curve that ramps up under load and stays quiet at idle. The 500–1,800 RPM range gives you flexibility; at lower speeds, the fan stays near silent. The anti-vibration rubber corners reduce vibration noise, but keep the fan firmly screwed down to avoid rattling. Clean the blades with a soft brush or compressed air every few months to maintain airflow and keep noise down.

Expert Recommendation: Getting the Most from the F120 RGB Core
Confirm that your case or radiator has a 120mm mount and at least 26mm of fan thickness clearance before ordering. The single-fan design mounts on standard 120mm spacing, so measure the mounting holes and the space around the frame.
Decide how you want to control the fan before you build. If you want CAM control for lighting, plan to use an NZXT RGB controller or a compatible NZXT motherboard; otherwise, the fan will spin through PWM from your motherboard but its lighting will stay at its default state.
Set a fan curve that ramps up under sustained load and stays quiet at idle. The 500–1,800 RPM range gives you room to balance airflow and noise; at full speed, the fan reaches 33.88 dBA, which is moderate for a 120mm fan.
Because the fan uses a fluid dynamic bearing rated for 60,000 hours, keep it firmly screwed down to prevent rattling and check the blades periodically for dust buildup. Clean the blades with a soft brush or compressed air to maintain airflow and reduce noise over time. If you plan to add more NZXT RGB fans later, keep the NZXT RGB channel and controller in mind so you do not exceed the channel’s LED limits.
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, each with a 600mm cable. Each fan carries 8 LEDs that light the blades from the hub. Connect the PWM cable to a motherboard fan header and the RGB cable to an NZXT RGB channel.
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 or a compatible NZXT motherboard, to control it in CAM. Speed control is separate, so the fan still spins under PWM from a motherboard fan header even without an NZXT RGB controller.
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 for the right balance of cooling and noise.
Can I use this fan on a radiator?
Yes. At 2.57 mmH₂O static pressure and 78.86 CFM airflow, the F120 RGB Core pushes air through 120mm radiators and heatsinks. Confirm that the radiator’s mounting holes match the 120mm spacing and that the fan’s 26mm thickness fits your clearance. Keep the fan blades clean and use PWM control to avoid running at full speed unnecessarily.
What is included in the box?
The package includes the F120 RGB Core single fan and installation accessories. No NZXT RGB controller is included. The fan carries a 2-year warranty.
