Overview

The Thermaltake Ring 14 Blue LED (CL-F039-PL14BU-A) is a 140mm case fan built around a high-static-pressure design that makes it especially effective when mounted on radiators. Its Concentrated Compression Blade channels airflow from the inner circle outward, creating the pressurized push needed to force air through dense radiator fins. Thermaltake's own thermal testing shows that a trio of Ring fans paired with an RL360 radiator can deliver up to 40% better cooling compared to standard case fans, achieving a temperature delta of just 4.5°C between inlet and outlet.

Beyond raw performance, the Ring 14 features a distinctive circular LED ring that produces a clean, uniform blue glow — a design choice that sets it apart from fans with individual point LEDs. The Wind Blocker Frame works alongside the compression blades to minimize vibration and noise while maintaining pressure, and the hydraulic bearing keeps things running smoothly over extended use. For users who prioritize silence, the included Low-Noise Cable adapter drops operating noise from 28.1 dBA to 22.1 dBA, giving builders a simple way to balance acoustics and cooling without additional fan controllers.

Key Features

Great Thermal Image Test Result: Compared to the standard case fan, the combination of three Ring radiator fans and RL360 radiator delivers 40% better cooling performance. (Inlet and outlet temp. are 49℃ and 44.5℃ in respective, △T= 4.5℃). Air flow - 51.15 CFM. Noise level - 24.1 decibels

Concentrated Compression Blade: Custom designed for high-static pressure requirements of demanding applications like radiators, the CCB is engineered to focus the inner circle of air outwards, allowing the outer section to pressurize and compress.

Wind Blocker Frame: To achieve maximum static pressure in all applications, this reduces the blade's noise and vibration, creating a perfect balance between power and sound by creating a compression effect and blocking any pressure from escaping.

Hydraulic Bearing with Low-Noise Design: The hydraulic bearing self-lubricates with a high quality, friction-reducing substance which lowers operating noise. The LNC (Low-Noise Cable) can reduce the noise level by 21% from 28.1dBA to 22.1dBA.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • High-static-pressure blade design is well suited for radiator cooling applications
  • Included low-noise cable adapter allows a 21% reduction in operating noise
  • Distinctive circular blue LED ring provides clean, even illumination
  • Wind Blocker Frame reduces vibration and prevents pressure from escaping
  • Hydraulic bearing promotes quiet operation and long service life

👎 Cons

  • LED color is fixed to blue with no RGB or color-change options
  • Does not include PWM speed control, relying instead on a manual LNC adapter for noise reduction
  • At 24.1 dBA full speed, it is not the quietest 140mm fan available
  • Only available as a single fan per package, requiring multiple purchases for radiator setups
