NZXT F280X PWM RGB Fan, Fluid Dynamic Bearing, 280mm, Black

The NZXT F280X is a 280mm cooling fan engineered for high-demand thermal management in PC systems. Its structural components utilize Liquid-Crystal Polymer (LCP) material, which resists deformation and maintains stability during high rotational speeds, effectively reducing resonance and operational noise. The fan incorporates a hybrid bearing system, combining magnetic stabilization with a Fluid Dynamic Bearing, a configuration designed to minimize friction and deliver reliable, long-term operation. This unit has a rated Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) of 60,000 hours.

Operational control is managed via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), allowing the rotational speed to scale between a minimum of 1700 RPM and a maximum of 2400 RPM. At peak speed, the fan delivers substantial performance metrics, achieving up to 116 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of airflow and generating 5.78 mmH₂O of static pressure. This performance profile optimizes the F280X for cooling environments with high resistance, such as dense liquid cooling radiators or restricted intake zones.

Noise output is measured between 30 dB and 41 dB, dependent on the selected speed profile. The fan utilizes an NZXT 8-pin connector for power delivery and control signaling, requiring connection to a compatible NZXT control hub or motherboard for full system management. Integrated RGB lighting draws 5V power separately from the main 12V fan input, providing customizable visual features suitable for case intake, exhaust, or heatsink mounting.
