How to connect NZXT F120 and F140 RGB Duo fans - wiring and setup guide for NZXT fans

In this video I’m showing the wiring logic for NZXT F120 and F140 RGB Duo fans. From how to connect a single fan to what to do when you have three, four, five, six or more NZXT fans to install in your system. There are various things to keep in mind here as the fans have both RGB and fan power connections, so you need the right connectors to get everything working. The standard NZXT F120 and F140 RGB Duo fan packs come with an RGB controller that you can use to connect the fans RGB up to. This then connects to SATA power on your PSU and the USB header on your motherboard. These controllers are only designed for three fans though, so you’ll soon find if you’re adding loads of fans that you’re going to run into problems where you need more USB headers. The solution there is a USB splitter (link below). It’s also worth noting that it’s a lot easier if you use the NZXT fan controller. There’s a V2 of this controller that allows for connection of up to 9 of these fans in terms of power connections which makes life a lot easier when wiring these. It’s an additional purchase but well worth getting in my opinion. I’m also going to show you how to connect these fans to your all in one controller too!
