Fan Thermaltake CT140 EX Reverse ARGB Sync 14cm 94.5 cfm Black

The CT140 EX Reverse ARGB Sync is a 140 mm case fan from Thermaltake’s CT series featuring MagForce 2.0 magnetic quick-connect technology. The fan runs up to 1800 RPM, delivers 94.95 CFM airflow and 2.54 mm‑H2O static pressure while operating at around 32.8 dBA. Reversed blades allow airflow from rear to front while keeping the ARGB lighting fully visible. The fan includes nine addressable LEDs compatible with motherboards that have a 5V ARGB header and supports major sync software such as ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync and ASRock Polychrome.

Advantages

MagForce 2.0 provides a faster and more tolerant magnetic connection with enlarged Pogo pin contact pads to simplify daisy-chaining and reduce alignment faults. The reversed blade design preserves lighting visibility regardless of airflow direction. A reinforced frame minimizes deformation and improves sealing against chassis or radiator surfaces, and anti‑vibration rubber pads on each corner reduce vibration and allow higher rotational speeds within acceptable noise levels. Nine addressable LEDs enable full ARGB control via compatible motherboard software.

How to use

Mount the fan in the desired orientation so that airflow direction (rear-to-front for this reversed-blade model) matches your cooling layout. Secure the fan to the chassis or radiator using the supplied screws, ensuring the anti‑vibration pads contact the mounting surface. Connect the MagForce 2.0 magnetic quick connect if daisy-chaining multiple CT series fans, or plug the fan’s ARGB cable into the motherboard 5V addressable RGB header. Use the motherboard’s RGB software to configure lighting effects; no additional controller is required for supported motherboards.

Recommendations

Ensure your motherboard has a 5V addressable RGB header before relying on onboard ARGB sync. For optimal cooling, place the fan where airflow aligns with your case’s intake/exhaust design and avoid leaving gaps between the fan frame and the chassis or radiator to prevent air leakage.
