Black 420mm single-frame triple fan with clear side windows and addressable RGB lighting

NZXT

NZXT RF-R242U-BF 420mm case fan, 3×140mm, 24 RGB LEDs, 2000 RPM

SKU CH-6V2Q-8YFEQ MPN RF-R242U-BF

A 420 mm single-frame triple fan delivers 91.83 CFM per 140 mm rotor at up to 2000 RPM with 24 addressable RGB LEDs and a 60000-hour fluid dynamic bearing

Class Black

Size 420 mm

  • Triple 140mm fans deliver 91.83 CFM each for strong case airflow
  • 23 mmH₂O static pressure per fan pushes air through radiators and dense mesh
  • 24 addressable RGB LEDs with clear side windows illuminate the build from every angle
  • Single-frame design installs with four screws and one 8-pin connection for cleaner cable routing
  • Fluid dynamic bearing rated for 60,000 hours keeps noise at 34.03 dBA per fan

420mm single-frame triple fan

The NZXT RF-R242U-BF integrates three 140mm fans into one 420mm housing, each with nine blades. It delivers 91.83 CFM airflow and 4.23 mmH2O static pressure per fan at 2000 ± 200 RPM. The unit is designed for builders who want high-volume cooling across a large radiator or mesh panel.

24 addressable RGB LEDs with NZXT 8-pin connector

Twenty-four addressable LEDs sit behind clear side windows for vivid illumination. A single NZXT 8-pin cable carries both PWM control and lighting power, so only four mounting screws and one connection are required. Fluid dynamic bearings rated for 60,000 hours and anti-vibration corners keep noise to 34.03 dBA per fan at full speed.

Replaces three separate 140mm fans and RGB cables

This single-frame assembly removes the clutter of individual fan headers, separate RGB leads and twelve mounting screws. The upgrade is worth it when a 420mm radiator or front panel mount is available and you want simpler cable routing with unified lighting control through NZXT CAM.

Questions about this item

What NZXT 8-pin connector does the RF-R242U-BF use and what does it limit?

The fan uses a proprietary NZXT 8-pin connector that carries both PWM control and addressable RGB data through a single cable, limiting control to NZXT CAM software via an NZXT Control Hub or compatible NZXT motherboard header.

What screw pattern and clearance does the 420 mm single-frame housing need?

The unit mounts with four standard 140 mm fan screws on 140 mm centres and requires a 420 mm long by 140 mm wide clear area plus room for the 8-pin cable bend radius at one end.

How do you install the RF-R242U-BF and which step is often missed?

Align the single frame, insert four screws through the anti-vibration corners, then plug the 8-pin connector into the Control Hub or motherboard; the step often missed is seating the 8-pin fully so both PWM and RGB signals register in CAM.
