trying to figure out wattage of case fan

[demonikal]

My newest case fan is by a company called Cougar (out of Germany).

It's called the Cougar Vortex CF-V14S

Dimensions: 140 x 140 x 25mm
Bearing: Hyper-Spin
Voltage Range: 6-13VDC
Connector: 3-pin
Speed: 1000 RPM
Air Flow: 64.5 CFM (109.6 m3/h)
Air Pressure: 1.18mm H2O
Acoustical Noise: 17.9dB
Life: 150,000 hours

It says all this, but it doesn't say how much the wattage is. I thought Watts = Volts x Amps, but they don't give amps or milliamps.

I looked everywhere It doesn't give wattage anywhere that I can find.

Is there a way I can figure out the wattage I'm curious to know how much electricity this fan will be using.

Thanks

Look on the sticker on the back. 12v, 0.2A = 2.4w

beers, now I really feel like a dufus

That's nuts it's only 2.4 watts. Apparently, I've never known how many watts case fans used, cuz I've always assumed it's been over 15W per fan that's only 120mm and more from there on up. I have no clue why I assumed that, but I'm sure they've come down in power consumption over the years.

Now I just got to find a PSU that isn't rubbish and possibly even Energy Star, if such a thing exists =)

No, that's the exact reason I got this one. No LED lights. I don't like LED lights anymore unless they are in a light bulb socket in a lamp, on the ceiling, in a solar light, etc. I like LED lights for their practicality and low energy usage. I started out loving my blue LED lighted intake and exhaust case fans in 2011. But once I got to about the end of 2013, I was sick of them.

yea fans dont take much. they're cheap to run. now a water pump, that can cost you up to 20 watts i think. mine only uses 10 watts though.
