Thermaltake Riing Quad 120mm RGB Fan - High Airflow, Quad LED Rings

In this review of the Riing Quad 120mm RGB fan, the bottom line is simple: this single fan is best for builders who already own the Riing Quad digital controller and want a vivid, high-airflow expansion option. The fan's standout trait is its four independent LED rings with a total of 54 addressable LEDs, producing saturated lighting effects when paired with TT RGB PLUS or NeonMaker. Performance is solid for a 120mm fan too, with a top speed of 1500 RPM and a claimed maximum airflow that makes it a sensible choice for radiators or case intake where visual impact matters as much as cooling.

Key Features

• Quad LED rings: Four independent light rings with 54 addressable LEDs deliver striking, customizable RGB effects when used with the compatible digital controller and software.
• Strong airflow: The 9-blade design and PWM control produce up to 40.9 CFM at a maximum 1500 RPM, which helps keep radiators and case interiors effectively cooled.
• Hydraulic bearing: The hydraulic bearing self-lubricates to reduce friction and noise while extending operational life to the stated expectation.
• Low noise design: With noise listed around 25 dB-A and anti-vibration rubber pads, the fan runs quietly under normal loads and resists vibration transfer into the chassis.
• Controller-dependent operation: This one-pack has no controller included, so full LED and software features require the Riing Quad digital controller and TT RGB PLUS or NeonMaker.

Who It's For

The Riing Quad 120mm is aimed at PC builders who prioritize RGB lighting and need one or two extra fans to expand a Riing Quad RGB kit. It works well for users running radiator cooling or case intakes who want both visual flair and meaningful airflow without significantly increasing noise.

It is not the right purchase for someone who expects plug-and-play RGB from a single fan; the lighting relies on a separate digital controller and the TT RGB PLUS/NeonMaker software. Buyers who dislike software that can be finicky or who need a bundled controller should look at full kits instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very rich RGB effects with four addressable LED rings when connected to the digital controller and supported software.
• Good airflow for a 120mm fan, with a 9-blade design optimized to move air efficiently at up to 1500 RPM.
• Quiet operation aided by hydraulic bearing and anti-vibration rubber pads.

Cons

• Does not include the digital controller; lighting features require the Riing Quad controller and software.
• Some users report the software and controller can be unreliable or difficult to get recognized.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The Riing Quad 120mm RGB fan is a strong expansion choice for builders who already use the Riing Quad digital controller and want vivid lighting plus genuine airflow. It pairs quiet hydraulic bearing operation with effective cooling and striking LED effects, but its value depends on having the compatible controller and accepting known software quirks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fan include a controller?
No. This listing is a one-pack fan only and requires the Riing Quad digital controller for full LED function and software control.

Will the fan work without the controller?
The fan will spin and provide airflow using standard fan headers, but the addressable LED rings and software effects need the compatible digital controller and TT RGB PLUS or NeonMaker.

Is the fan noisy?
Noise is modest; the specification lists about 25 dB-A and the hydraulic bearing plus anti-vibration pads help keep operation quiet in most builds.
