I'm not so sure about these twister bearing fans. Considering the price it'll probably sell at, I'd expect a double ball bearing or FDB fan rather than sleeve bearing on steroids.

Agreed

I'd like to see someone say the same thing about Noctua's bearing. :|

I don't follow.

Enermax's bearing design, if I recall correctly, is a type of rifle bearing that is magnetically stabilized, which isn't too far removed from what constitutes Noctua's SSO2 bearing. Calling it a sleeve bearing on steroids is selling it a bit short - I'm not saying that the quality of Enermax is on par with Noctua, I'm just saying that they shouldn't be written off quite so readily.

I'll wait until Johnny Guru gets his hands on one.

Or Toms, or Techpowerup, or HardOCP, Kitguru, pcper, etc. There are a ton of PSU review sites.
