Each of the two fans inside the NZXT F280 White RGB Core Fan spins between 500 and 2,000 ± 200 RPM depending on system demand, delivering up to 98.61 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of airflow on each fan.
That strong airflow, together with a static pressure rating of 3.2 mm H₂O, gives the NZXT F280 White RGB Core Fan the muscle to push air efficiently through tightly packed case interiors or even radiators and heatsinks.
Whether used as intake or exhaust, this makes the NZXT Single Frame RGB Core Fan a versatile option — ideal for general system cooling, GPU-heavy builds, or radiator-assisted cooling loops.
Beyond raw performance, NZXT has prioritized noise control and longevity.
The NZXT F280 White RGB Core Fan uses Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB), known for smooth, consistent operation over long periods — up to 60,000 hours.
Even at full speed, the maximum noise output stays near 34.5 dBA per fan, and anti-vibration rubber corners help dampen unwanted rattles or resonance.
The result is a fan unit capable of high airflow while staying relatively quiet, striking a good balance for gaming rigs, workstations, or everyday-use PCs.
Aesthetics aren’t neglected either.
Each fan of the NZXT Two Fan RGB Desktop Fan houses 8 addressable RGB LEDs, whose light is diffused through semi-translucent blades and side windows in the frame.
This provides a vibrant, even glow — perfect for showcasing your build.
The NZXT White Single Frame Desktop Fan supports ARGB control via an 8-pin connector; NZXT includes a splitter that lets you hook up to a standard 5 V ARGB motherboard header if you prefer motherboard-based lighting control over a dedicated controller.
This flexibility makes it easy to integrate the NZXT F280 White RGB Core Fan into existing RGB ecosystems or to build a custom lighting profile with software.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the single-unit frame and unified cabling.
Instead of mounting two separate fans and managing multiple power and RGB cables, you get one frame, one connector, and one clean install.
This reduces cable clutter and simplifies building or upgrading your system — a definite plus for both first-time builders and seasoned PC builders who appreciate efficient builds.
The NZXT F280 White RGB Core Fan’s specifications — dual 140 mm fans, 500-2000 RPM range, 98.61 CFM airflow, 3.2 mm H₂O static pressure, ARGB lighting, and 5-year manufacturer warranty — make it a well-rounded case fan solution.
Whether you’re building a gaming rig that demands strong airflow, a workstation that needs reliable cooling under sustained load, or a showcase build where aesthetics matter, the F280 delivers.
Its balance of performance, quiet operation, and visual flair make it a smart choice for a wide range of builds.
The NZXT F280 RGB Core Fan is more than just a set of case fans.
It’s a thoughtfully designed cooling solution built to deliver efficient airflow, low noise, easy installation, and impressive lighting — all in one neat, integrated package.
For anyone looking to upgrade cooling or build a new PC from scratch, the F280 offers a compelling mix of power, simplicity, and style.
