Single-frame 420mm reverse-blade fan

The NZXT RF-R242R-BF combines three 140mm reverse-blade fans in a single frame measuring 420mm. Each fan spins at 1900 ± 190 RPM and delivers 96.28 CFM airflow with 3.06 mmH2O static pressure at 34.6 dBA. The unit includes 24 addressable RGB LEDs on the illuminated side, a fluid dynamic bearing rated for 60000 hours and connects via one NZXT 8-pin connector using four screws.

Showcase builders wanting front-facing RGB

Suits builders who want the clean illuminated side of the blades visible through a tempered-glass panel while maintaining high airflow through radiators or dense mesh. Not suited for cases that cannot accommodate a 420mm single-frame mounting pattern or systems without an NZXT Control Hub or compatible motherboard header for the proprietary 8-pin connection.

420mm single-frame mounting requirement

The decisive specification is the 420mm single-frame form factor, which demands a case with matching triple-140mm mounting points and clearance for the integrated housing. Verify your chassis supports this exact layout before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the fan is running at the rated 1900 RPM after installation?

Open NZXT CAM software connected to the Control Hub or a compatible NZXT motherboard; the dashboard shows real-time speed for each of the three 140mm fans so you can verify they sit near 1900 RPM under load.

What comes in the box and what extra hardware is needed to run the lighting and PWM control?

The package contains the single-frame triple-fan unit with 24 addressable RGB LEDs and an 8-pin NZXT connector; you must add an NZXT Control Hub or an NZXT motherboard with the matching header to drive both lighting and fan curves.

Which version should I choose if my case only fits a 420mm radiator and I want the illuminated side facing the window?

Pick the 420mm reverse-blade model — its blades are flipped so the lit face points outward, matching a 420mm radiator mount while keeping the 96.28 CFM airflow and 3.06 mmH₂O static pressure per fan.
