Nzxt 140mm fan12/26/2023 Performance & AER RGB 140/CAM Demonstration (Video) Internet connection is needed to download CAM HUE+ is sold separately and is required to unlock Aer RGB’s full lighting features. I hope you find it informative, helpful and helps make your mind up…but first, the specifications! Specifications Dimensions I believe that video is much better than static images in this case. To demonstrate the NZXT AER RGB 140’s functionality and settings via the Hue+ controller/CAM software, I have decided to do a short video test to best show off the lighting types. This allows for daisy chaining and connection to each fan and the controller itself hence the in and out. The Hue+ will support up to 5 fans per channel meaning 10 fans can be supported from 1 controller. Here we can see the in and out ports on the fans themselves. The fans themselves are also backed with a 2-year warranty, perfect for those who plan to use them for years and want peace of mind from mechanical failure. Like most regular case fans, the NZXT AER RGB 140 fans are 25mm thick and also feature anti-vibration rubber pads in each corner for installation fewer vibrations = less noise.Įach of the fans features a Fluid Dynamic Bearing which has a 6-year life span according to the NZXT specifications (see down the page for the full specifications). To enable the RGB features, these must be plugged into the NZXT Hue+ controller while using the CAM software program, although they will work as regular fans without…but why would you buy them not to use them for their intended purpose? Each fan features 9 blades and a 4 pin PWM header for support for motherboards that support pulse width modulation. The AER RGB fans feature a plastic trim which should help enhance the lighting on the fans better while not protruding too much into the overall design. The rule of thumb is bigger fans require less speed to generate the same airflow, so 140’s are usually quieter than 120’s. There are 120mm AER RGB fans available, so make sure you get the right ones which are compatible with your case. Looking at the fans themselves, the AER RGB 140 are pretty much as they say, 140mm in diameter and size. Please be aware you need the NZXT Hue+ controller to work the RGB functions on the AER RGB fans in collaboration with the CAM software. The Hue+ comes in this particular package we have been sent with 2 x NZXT AER RGB 140 fans, but you can purchase the fans separately without the bundled Hue+. We actually reviewed the NZXT Hue+ controller a while back ( can check it out by clicking HERE) and it scored very well after all, it’s a fantastic product for customising the look of your system and we rate it very highly here at Pla圓r. These include a USB header to USB mini power cable to power the NZXT Hue+ controller, screws for the fans, longer fan cables with in/out on them which correlate with the rear of the Hue+ controller and an instruction manual. Starting off with the accessories, the NZXT AER RGB 140 twin pack with Hue+ controller comes with a plethora of cables included. Pretty expensive for a set of 140mm fans, but given their unique customisation, design and the fact a £49.99 NZXT Hue+ comes included in the box, you can save yourself some money on purchasing them separately. We have the twin pack of 140mm AER 140 RGB fans which do include the NZXT Hue+ unit in with the bundle and this retails pricewise for around £89.99 in the UK. They offer single packs, double packs and triple packs with the fans on their own in 120mm and 140 varieties, as well as twin packs including the NZXT Hue+ itself this is required to use the fans RGB functionality. Now NZXT does offer different options available in terms of size which does require support from their NZXT Hue+ system. It seems to be a common trend that users want their system to look as good as it performs and that’s why companies like NZXT have been pushing the limits so users (including myself) can benefit from the best of both worlds stunning aesthetics, but without sacrificing performance. The main one is the countless colour combinations that can be made! This means that you could keep the same range of fans and transfer them into a new build, even if the colour doesn’t match they are customisable in that regard after all. Of course, there are many benefits and reasons to go for RGB fans over static LED or non-LED fans. Although not the first RGB fans to grace the market, the NZXT AER RGB 140 140mm fans certainly do look like some of the best from all of the fancy marketing but is that the case in the flesh? Lately, every company seems to have added RGB to their products in the hopes of enticing consumers to go with them and in doing so, making profits galore.
