The short version
The F120 RGB Core is a 26 mm thick 120 mm fan with eight individually addressable LEDs on its hub, rated 500 to 1,800 RPM, 78.86 CFM and 2.57 mmH2O at 33.88 dBA. Speed runs from a 4-pin PWM header while lighting uses a 4-pin NZXT RGB connector, so full lighting control needs an NZXT controller and CAM. Its two-year warranty and low list price frame it as a budget option for NZXT-based builds, and no independent review was read here.

Common questions
What do I need to control the F120 RGB Core lighting?
Lighting runs through the 4-pin NZXT RGB connector, so an NZXT RGB channel such as an NZXT RGB controller is needed to control it in CAM.
Can the fan speed be controlled from the motherboard?
Yes. NZXT says speed control is separate, so the fan still spins under PWM from a motherboard fan header.
