NZXT F140 RGB Core (140mm/62.5 CFM/1.4 mmH2O Static Pressure/1500 RPM Max/24.0 dBA/Fluid Dynamic Bearing/RGB/PWM) Review
NZXT F140 Core 140mm case fan, 62.5 CFM airflow, 1.4 mmH2O static pressure, 1500 RPM max, 24.0 dBA, Fluid Dynamic bearing, No RGB, PWM control. NZXT's value-tier 140mm fan, sharing case-matching colorways with NZXT's H-series cases.
The F Core line is NZXT's answer to budget-conscious builders who still want fans that visually match an NZXT case's white or black colorway out of the box. The F140 Core keeps things simple — solid PWM control, a fluid dynamic bearing, and NZXT's usual clean frame design — without the RGB lighting or performance tuning of the pricier F-series variants.
Case-Matching Design
NZXT sells the F Core line specifically to match the white or black interior finish of its H-series cases, so builders assembling a matching aesthetic don't need to hunt for third-party fans in the right shade.
Straightforward Performance
Without RGB electronics or a static-pressure-tuned blade, the F140 Core focuses on being a competent, quiet, unobtrusive case-airflow fan — a reasonable stock-fan replacement rather than a specialist performance part.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the NZXT F120P already in this catalog, the F140 Core is the plain-airflow, larger-frame budget sibling rather than the static-pressure-focused F120P. Compared to the Noctua NF-A14 PWM, the F140 Core is far cheaper but gives up Noctua's refinement and long warranty.
