NZXT F280 White RGB Core 2-Pack Fans - RF-U28HF-W1

NZXT F280 White RGB Core 2-Pack is a set of two 140 mm case fans, aimed at more serious gaming and enthusiast configurations where you want both stable cooling and a clean, minimalist white build. They operate in a range of 500 - 2000 ± 250 RPM and can move up to 98.61 CFM of air, which is solid for the 140 mm format. The hydraulic bearing helps for smoother operation and better durability, while the Addressable RGB lighting gives you flexible illumination for synchronization with the rest of the components. In the package, you get a total of two fans with white housings and 4-pin connectors for finer control.

What you get

The two 140 mm fans cover a large area of radiators and front/top panels, with the size 280 x 140 x 26 mm making them suitable for 280 mm mounting zones. With up to 98.61 CFM of airflow per fan, you can keep GPU and CPU temperatures under control even under higher loads, provided you have good overall air circulation in the case. The range down to 500 RPM allows for relatively quiet operation in idle and light tasks, while up to 2000 RPM gives you serious headroom for load. At a maximum of 34.5 dBA, the noise level is within expectations for this class – they are not “invisible,” but they are a logical price for strong airflow. The Addressable RGB lighting is controlled via a compatible controller/motherboard and allows you to set individual effects on the fans, while the 12 V 4-pin connector enables PWM control via the motherboard.

• A set of 2 fans, which is a convenient upgrade for front intake or a 280 mm radiator with a single purchase.
• 140 mm standard size for a better balance between airflow and noise compared to smaller fans.
• Operating range of 500 - 2000 ± 250 RPM, allowing quiet operation at low speeds and aggressive cooling when needed.
• Maximum airflow up to 98.61 CFM, suitable for cases with hotter components or denser filters and mesh panels.
• Noise level up to 34.5 dBA, which is a reasonable compromise for fans with such high airflow.
• Hydraulic bearing for smoother rotation and better long-term durability compared to basic sleeve bearings.
• Addressable RGB lighting and white color for a clean look and flexible light effects in modern ARGB builds.
• 4-pin connector on 12 V for PWM control via motherboard or controller with fine control over the RPM.
• Long 60-month warranty, providing peace of mind for long-term use.

Who it is suitable for

This set is suitable if you are building a white gaming or enthusiast build and want strong air cooling with an ARGB accent – especially for 280 mm radiators or front/top panels. It fits well with systems featuring more powerful CPU/GPU that heat up significantly and need higher airflow. If you are looking for a maximally silent system at all costs and rarely load the machine, they might be “overkill” in terms of capacity.

The most sensible aspect of this set is the combination of strong airflow, 140 mm format, and addressable RGB in white, plus a long 5-year warranty from NZXT. This way, you get fans that cover cooling, looks, and reliability simultaneously.
