Paladone Playstation Controller Light
Score: 71/100
NZXT F140RGB
Score: 80/100Rankings
The NZXT F140RGB fan combines strong static pressure and high airflow with vibrant RGB lighting, making it a solid choice for cooling radiators and case airflow. Its lack of daisy-chain support and relatively high power consumption limit flexibility for some builds. Best suited for NZXT-centric enthusiasts who prioritize performance and integrated lighting.
The Paladone PlayStation Controller Icons Light projects iconic button silhouettes with four-color RGB and a sound-reactive mode. It requires separate AAA batteries for cordless use and feels less premium due to its plastic construction. Best suited for PlayStation fans seeking themed ambient lighting.

Professional reviewers commend the F140RGB Core for its Platinum static pressure rating and Bronze airflow, noting it delivers strong cooling performance while remaining quiet thanks to its Fluid Dynamic Bearing and anti-vibration design. The vibrant RGB lighting integrated with NZXT CAM is highlighted as a major plus for users invested in the NZXT ecosystem, though critics point out the lack of daisy-chain support and the reliance on proprietary software as drawbacks, especially given its price relative to non-RGB alternatives.
Everyday users consistently praise the fan for its easy installation, quiet operation, and effective cooling compared to stock fans, with many highlighting the attractive RGB lighting that enhances the visual appeal of their builds. Complaints are minimal, mainly revolving around case-fit limitations and the absence of daisy-chain capability, but overall sentiment is highly positive.
