Overview
Key Features
Extraordinary Cooling Performance: Max airflow 60.17 CFM, Max air pressure 1.4 mm-H2O, and max fan speed 1500 R.P.M.
PWM Controlled Fan with 9-Fan Blade Design: 140mm fan with unique 9 blades engineered for maximizing airflow while minimizing noise.
Hydraulic Bearing with Low-Noise Design: Hydraulic bearing self-lubricates with a friction-reducing substance, which lowers operation noise while improving thermal efficiency.
Anti-Vibration Mounting System: In-mold injection anti-vibration rubber pads can prevent scratches and further reduce noise from fan spinning at a higher level.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 54 individually addressable LEDs across 4 independent rings deliver per-zone RGB customization that single-ring fans cannot match
- 60.17 CFM max airflow and 1.4 mm-H2O static pressure provide a balanced performance envelope suitable for both case ventilation and radiator mounting
- Hydraulic bearing design self-lubricates over time, extending operational lifespan beyond typical sleeve-bearing alternatives at this price tier
- Anti-vibration rubber corner pads reduce chassis resonance transmission, measurably lowering perceived noise under load
- PWM speed range (500–1400 RPM) enables fine-grained thermal control through motherboard headers without requiring proprietary controllers
👎 Cons
- Full four-zone RGB control requires Thermaltake's TT RGB PLUS or NeonMaker software — ARGB headers on non-Thermaltake motherboards cannot address the ring zones independently
- At 140mm x 25mm the fan occupies full 140mm mounting points; cases designed around 120mm fans will require adapter planning
- 26.1 dB-A at max speed is quiet, but not class-leading — premium alternatives like Noctua A14 operate noticeably more silently at the same RPM
- NeonMaker and TT RGB PLUS software have historically received mixed reviews for stability and update cadence — RGB control can be frustrating to set up reliably
- The four-ring LED housing adds slight depth compared to a minimal-design fan, which can matter in tight radiator-to-component clearances
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the actual airflow rating of the Riing Quad 140mm, and does it deliver meaningful cooling improvement?
Maximum airflow is rated at 60.17 CFM with a max static pressure of 1.4 mm-H2O at 1500 RPM. That CFM figure is competitive for a 140mm fan — most 140mm fans in this class land between 55–70 CFM, so the Riing Quad sits in the upper-mid range without leading the pack outright.
Does the Riing Quad 140mm require proprietary software or controllers to function?
The fan runs without software at a fixed speed via standard PWM header. However, full RGB control — including the four independent LED ring zones — requires Thermaltake's TT RGB PLUS software or NeonMaker light editing software. Without that software, RGB behavior defaults to a preset mode.
What bearing type does this fan use, and how does it affect long-term reliability?
It uses a hydraulic bearing, which self-lubricates through a fluid suspension mechanism. Hydraulic bearings typically offer longer rated lifespans than sleeve bearings and operate more quietly than ball bearings under medium speeds, making them a reasonable mid-tier choice between cheap sleeve and premium dual-ball designs.
What is the noise floor of this fan at typical operating speeds?
At maximum speed (1400–1500 RPM), rated noise is 26.1 dB-A — that's quiet enough to be inaudible above typical ambient room noise in a mid-tower case. At lower PWM-controlled speeds, noise drops further. The anti-vibration rubber corner pads also reduce transmitted resonance to the chassis.
Can the Riing Quad 140mm be daisy-chained with other Thermaltake fans?
Yes. The Riing Quad series is designed to connect through Thermaltake's TT RGB PLUS ecosystem, allowing multiple fans to be linked and controlled from a single software interface. Mixing with non-Thermaltake fans is possible via PWM headers but requires separate RGB control solutions.
