Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hydraulic bearing in a case fan?
A hydraulic bearing uses fluid dynamics to reduce friction between moving parts, resulting in quieter operation, lower power consumption, and extended fan lifespan compared to sleeve or ball bearings. The Thermaltake CT200's hydraulic bearing ensures reliable performance over thousands of operating hours.
Can I control the ARGB lighting on the CT200?
Yes. The CT200 features daisy-chainable ARGB connectors that connect directly to your motherboard's RGB header. Once connected, you can synchronize lighting effects with other compatible fans and components using your motherboard's RGB control software.
Is the Thermaltake CT200 suitable for both intake and exhaust?
Absolutely. The 200mm ARGB PWM fan is optimized for both intake and exhaust configurations, making it versatile for various case layouts. Use multiple CT200 fans to create balanced airflow and maintain optimal case temperatures.
What PWM speed range does the CT200 support?
The CT200 operates between 500 and 900 RPM under PWM control, allowing your motherboard to automatically adjust fan speed based on system temperature. This dynamic control reduces noise during light loads while maximizing cooling during demanding tasks.
