Fractal Design Node 202 - Black - Mini-ITX Slim Profile Compact Small Form Factor Computer Case – Modular interior - USB 3.0

Product Information

Standard 25 mm thick fans would press right up against the GPU fans, and this fan stacking would create horrendous noise.

The Anode SFX 450W PSU that comes included with the enclosure provides stable power to the most demanding systems. It comes in two variants - with or without the Fractal Design 450W 80Plus Bronze SFX PSU pre-installed.Second is the GPU cooling, and you shouldn't overlook this too quickly, especially in something designed for the living room as a hotter GPU means a louder one.

Snap in panels on all sides is a welcome design choice that enables an optional tool-less chassis access. Having a push gives slightly better temps on the GPU, but the heat does build up and has a negative effect on the cpu.Credit is provided by Novuna Personal Finance, a trading style of Mitsubishi HC Capital (UK) PLC, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. At idle the system was effectively silent but under load we could clearly hear the fans spinning up as the hardware got hotter. SSD drives, you’ll be pleased to see that the Ridge hasn’t forgot about you, and that it supports 4x 2. It is true that Prime95 stresses your cpu to it's limit and you most likely won't get such high temps in regular use.

meacupla - Monday, June 6, 2016 - link I'm pretty sure ML08/RVZ02 has ever-so-slightly better cooling capacity than Node 202. I think GPU should've been mounted farther away from the side, with holes and enough space to install fans to cool GPU underside.After disassembly, you can put aside this mount as well as the drive cage (1 screw above) and a GPU holder (against bending) for the time being. Anyways I don't want it generate more heat than R9 380X/GTX 970 (Tonga is cooler than Tahiti and comparable with GM204) - no more than this 190W level.

They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. To install the video card, screw it into the expansion slots, attach the riser cards, and secure three screws on the side.Step 9 As a first step to eliminate the cable chaos, it is advisable to route the CPU cable using all eyelets if possible. It's worth remembering that the Node 202 has a dust filter over the CPU vent whereas the windowed RVZ02 we tested did not.
