Thermaltake CL-F089-PL14SW-B Riing Quad 140mm RGB Fan 3-Pack

Name: Thermaltake CL-F089-PL14SW-B Riing Quad 140mm RGB Fan 3-Pack
Brand: Thermaltake
SKU: CL-F089-PL14SW-B

Overview

The Thermaltake Riing Quad CL-F089-PL14SW-B is a 140 x 140 x 25mm PWM fan built around a 54-LED addressable RGB ring system divided into four concentric zones. Each zone can be independently addressed through the TT RGB PLUS software, enabling gradient animations and synchronized effects across up to 40 seconds of custom sequences. The fan operates at 12V/5V with a rated current of 0.12A and 0.9A respectively per unit — meaning the RGB subsystem alone draws meaningful current from the 5V rail, so plan your PSU's addressable headers accordingly. Acoustically, 26.1 dB-A at 1,400 RPM puts it in competitive territory for illuminated 140mm fans, and the 9-blade design achieves 60.17 CFM at 1.71 mm-H2O static pressure.

This fan targets builders who want a cohesive, software-controlled RGB ecosystem with above-average lighting impact. It's a natural fit for cases with tempered glass side panels where light diffusion is visible from multiple angles. The TT RGB PLUS ecosystem allows pairing with Thermaltake PSUs, water blocks, AIO coolers, LED strips, and peripherals to create a unified lighting theme. Three fans are included in this pack, which is the minimum needed to populate a 420mm radiator or a triple-intake/exhaust configuration. The hydraulic bearing and rubber anti-vibration pads make this suitable for 24/7 system operation, though peak performance will degrade in high-ambient environments beyond the 25°C rating baseline.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

54 addressable LEDs across 4 rings deliver uniform color coverage visible from multiple chassis angles simultaneously.
Hydraulic bearing rates to 40,000 hours at 25°C, providing long service life with self-lubricating quiet operation.
Max airflow of 60.17 CFM at only 26.1 dB-A makes this one of the quieter performers in the 140mm RGB category.
Anti-vibration rubber pads cover 80% of mounting corners, measurably reducing chassis resonance transmission.
PWM range of 500–1,400 RPM allows aggressive low-speed passive cooling modes when thermals permit.

👎 Cons

USB 2.0 (9-pin) header requirement consumes a motherboard USB header that many mid-range boards have in limited supply.
TT RGB PLUS software has a history of instability and inconsistent update cycles, making long-term lighting management unreliable.
Rated current draw of 0.9A at 5V per fan (5V × 0.9A × 3 = 13.5W total for RGB alone) is higher than competing addressable RGB fans.
Native sync is limited to Razer Chroma; other major RGB ecosystems require workarounds that may not function correctly.
At 238g per fan, these are heavier than standard 140mm fans, which adds slight stress to fan mounting points in thin chassis panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software is required to control the Riing Quad's RGB lighting and fan speed?

Thermaltake's TT RGB PLUS software is required for full control. It supports Windows 7/8/8.1/10 via a USB 2.0 (9-pin) header connection. Alexa voice control and Razer Chroma sync are also available through this software stack.

What is the actual fan speed range and how does PWM control work on this fan?

The Riing Quad spins between 500 and 1,400 RPM (the listing notes 1,500 RPM max in some places; 1,400 RPM is the rated max). PWM signal is delivered through the 4-pin fan connector, allowing your motherboard or controller to modulate speed dynamically based on thermal load.

How does the hydraulic bearing compare to ball or sleeve bearings for longevity?

The hydraulic bearing is rated to 40,000 hours at 25°C. It self-lubricates using a friction-reducing fluid, which keeps noise low over time. Ball bearings last longer under high-heat/vertical mounting, but hydraulic bearings strike a solid balance of acoustics and lifespan for typical chassis-mounted use.

Can I sync these fans with non-Thermaltake RGB ecosystems?

Directly, only via Razer Chroma through Razer Synapse 3. ASUS Aura, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, and MSI Mystic Light are not natively supported — synchronization with those platforms requires the TT RGB PLUS software bridge, which has historically been inconsistent.

What does the anti-vibration mounting system actually cover?

The in-mold injection rubber pads cover approximately 80% of the fan corners, dampening resonance transferred to the chassis. This reduces the low-frequency hum that cheap fans transmit through metal panels, and it's a meaningful improvement over bare-screw mounting.
