from Noctua Website.
You should NOT have to worry about fan power draw considerably. When selecting your PSU it should always be rated for +200 watts over what your system requires at full load.

Check out a PSU calc website (search for one on google)

Question 2

Would this fit into an Apevia Xplorer-2 case?

Accepted Answer

Not to be rude or anything. But the dimensions are here on the specs of the fan (200x200x30mm) the case, if made from a reputable source, should tell you what dimensions of fans it accepts. Hope that guides you in your quest to building the ultimate machine. DIY cheers.

Question 3

Will two Noctua 200mm fans fit in Cooler Master HAF X Case for Top Exhaust? Also, what's the difference between DC and PWM fans?

Accepted Answer

The "Cooling" section of the HAF X product page on Cooler Master's site says that the case supports up to two 200mm fans at the top.  It also apparently has room for one 200mm intake fan on the window side of the case.  Not sure what you mean by DC. Where are you seeing that option?  AFAIK Noctua offers an FLX and a PWM option for this fan.  PWM allows for finer tuned fan speed control.

Question 4

Will four Noctua NF-A20s fit in a Thermaltake Core V71?

Accepted Answer

Based on the specs, right on this site, it shows that the V71 comes with two 200mm in front, and one on top. So it looks like 3 would be max. If you are building a gaming high perf system, water cooling kit like the corsair h110 or h115 would probably be more effective for the CPU. Still, I usually replace the corsair fans with noctua ones.

Question 5

What is an SSO2 bearing. I have not heard this acronym before ?

Accepted Answer

The SSO2 bearing, or Self-Stabilising Oil-Pressure bearing, is the further optimised second generation of Noctua's renowned, time-tested SSO bearing. With SSO2, the rear magnet is placed closer to the axis to provide even better stabilisation, precision, and durability.

Question 6

Will this fit the top of a Cooler Master HAF XB EVO?

Accepted Answer

Yes I have one mounted in mine.

Question 7

Will 2 of these fans fit the front of my Thermaltake Core V71 case.. These are more square the fans on it are round?

Accepted Answer

Will fit any 200mm fan config

Question 8

Will NF-A20 200mm x 200mm x 30mm fans fit in front and top exhaust for Cooler Master Cosmos II?

Accepted Answer

I bought this to go in the top of Cooler Master 922 HAF case did not fit, the Cooler Master fan
is more round.  So I installed is on the side cover.  It's very well made and quiet.  It only plugs
in to the mother board with the cables provided.
