NZXT RF-R242R-WF 420mm reverse-blade case fan

SKU CH-F9QE-YXEEN MPN RF-R242R-WF

A 420 mm single-frame unit housing three 140 mm reverse-blade fans with 24 addressable RGB LEDs facing forward for showcase builds

Class White

Size 420 mm

  • Reverse blades show illuminated side for showcase builds
  • Single-frame triple fan installs with four screws and one 8-pin connector
  • 28 CFM airflow per fan at 1,900 ± 190 RPM
  • 06 mmH₂O static pressure per fan for radiator performance
  • Fluid dynamic bearing rated for 60,000-hour lifespan

420mm reverse-blade RGB fan

The NZXT RF-R242R-WF integrates three 140mm reverse-blade fans into a single 420mm frame. Each fan runs at 1900 ± 190 RPM and produces 96.28 CFM with 3.06 mmH2O static pressure. Twenty-four addressable RGB LEDs face the illuminated side forward for showcase builds. A single NZXT 8-pin connector and four screws complete the installation.

Upgrade from separate triple-fan kits

This single-frame unit replaces three individual 140mm fans, their mounting screws and separate RGB or PWM cables. The jump is worth it when you want cleaner cable routing, faster installation and a unified lighting zone without losing per-fan airflow or static pressure. Builders who need mixed fan sizes or independent control per corner will not find that flexibility here.

Sustained-load behaviour

Fluid dynamic bearings rated for 60000 hours keep friction low during continuous operation. Anti-vibration corners limit resonance when the fans hold high RPM across radiators or dense mesh panels. Noise stays at 34.6 dBA per fan at full speed, so acoustic output remains predictable during extended gaming or rendering sessions.

Questions about this item

What case clearance does the 420 mm single-frame unit need?

The fan assembly measures 420 mm long and uses three 140 mm fans in one housing, so your case must support a 420 mm radiator or fan mounting area.

How do I connect the NZXT 8-pin plug and avoid the common wiring mistake?

Screw the frame in with four screws, then plug the single 8-pin connector into an NZXT Control Hub or compatible NZXT motherboard header — do not try to split it into standard 4-pin PWM headers.

When should I expect to replace the Fluid Dynamic Bearings?

The bearings are rated for 60000 hours of operation; at typical usage that works out to several years before a replacement is needed.
