Thermaltake Riing Quad 140mm RGB Case/Radiator Fan - Quiet High

In this review the Thermaltake Riing Quad 140mm is evaluated as a single high-performance RGB case or radiator fan aimed at PC builders who want bold lighting plus solid cooling. The standout reason to consider it is the quad-ring RGB system that combines striking visuals with a 140mm frame designed to push a lot of air quietly; the review looks at cooling numbers, noise, build quality and the software and controller experience to give a balanced verdict.

Key Features

• Strong airflow: With a maximum airflow of 60.17 CFM the 140mm fan moves substantial air for case or radiator cooling, helping lower component temperatures under load.
• Balanced pressure: Rated at 1.71 mm-H2O of air pressure, the fan provides the static pressure needed to perform well on radiators and dense filters.
• Quiet hydraulic bearing: The hydraulic bearing reduces friction and keeps noise low while extending operational life to around 40,000 hours.
• Distinctive RGB impact: Four independent LED rings and 54 addressable LEDs deliver saturated, customizable lighting effects when used with the supported software or ecosystem.
• PWM control and blade design: The 9-blade layout and PWM support let the fan operate from 500 to 1400 RPM to balance cooling performance against acoustic levels.
• Anti-vibration mounting: Built-in rubber pads reduce vibration transfer and protect the case from scratches while spinning at higher speeds.

Who It's For

Builders who prioritize visual impact and solid thermal performance will get the most from this fan: gamers, content creators and custom PC enthusiasts who install single or multiple fans on cases or radiators and want saturated RGB with addressable control. It is also suitable for anyone replacing louder stock fans with a quieter hydraulic bearing design.

Those who rely on flawless plug-and-play lighting control or expect simple, trouble-free controller recognition should be cautious: some users report issues with the controller and the companion software, so anyone unwilling to troubleshoot software or controller setup should consider other RGB solutions with simpler, proven ecosystems.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent visible RGB presence with four independent LED rings and strong color saturation.
• High airflow and respectable static pressure make it effective on radiators and in case intakes or exhausts.
• Low-noise hydraulic bearing and anti-vibration pads keep acoustic levels down even at higher RPMs.

Cons

• Software and controller recognition have mixed feedback from customers and may require troubleshooting.
• Single-pack option means buyers need multiple units for full-case RGB setups, increasing overall cost.
