NZXT’s 'F120X' and 'F140X' are part of the company’s new Performance fan series engineered for high airflow and static pressure in PC cooling applications. The fans use liquid‑crystal polymer (LCP) for both frame and blades to reduce flex at high speeds, an optimized blade geometry with a reduced tip‑to‑frame gap to minimize turbulence, and a hybrid bearing system that combines magnetic levitation with fluid dynamic lubrication for durability and reduced vibration.
Key technical parameters for the F120X include a speed range of 345–3,100 RPM, up to 104.0 CFM airflow, 7.53 mmH2O static pressure, and a reported noise ceiling of 41 dBA; the F140X follows the same engineering principles scaled for 140 mm applications and shares the series’ brushed‑aluminum accents, subtle RGB lighting, and reinforced metal bearing enclosure for structural stability.
The Performance series is positioned toward the premium cooling segment and is available in single‑fan and single‑frame multi‑fan formats, with NZXT emphasizing a 5‑year warranty and digital control via NZXT CAM or compatible motherboard software when used with the recommended Control Hub. Pricing announced for the line places the F120X and F140X at the higher end of NZXT’s fan range, reflecting material and motor design choices, while larger single‑frame units (F240X, F280X, F360X) are sold as integrated radiator‑scale solutions to reduce installation complexity and cable clutter. The series is offered in black and white finishes and includes anti‑vibration mounting corners and PWM control for integration into varied PC thermal configurations.
