NZXT Aer RGB 140 Triple Pack Fan Review

A Closer Look

The fans certainly look interesting, and while they keep the usual 140mm form factor, they feature an overlaid plastic trim that should help capture the light better and give the trim some cool lighting effects.

The fans feature a standard 4-pin PWM header and can be used just like any other fan, but for the lighting, they’ll need to be bridged into the Hue lighting controller, which can then power the lights and give them effects, etc. The fans are fluid dynamic bearing RF-AR140-FP and feature a 9-fin design for excellent low-RPM airflow performance.

Each corner features a durable fan mount on an otherwise circular trim design. There are thick rubber anti-vibration pads on each side of each mount too, ensuring a nice clean fit into your chassis of choice.

The build quality looks and feels great too, not that I expect you to be touching your fans every two seconds, but they feel like a nicely weighted and manufactured product while handling them, which is usually a very good sign.

Even without RGB lighting powered on, these are great looking fans and the edge lighting trim gives them a nice unique aesthetic.

On one end, you’ll find the In and Out ports, these are for bridging the fans lighting so you can create chain effects. Of course, all the cables to do this are included in the box, so that shouldn’t be too tricky to do.

Overall, these are stunning looking fans, but let’s get them installed and see what they can do!
