The Anode SFX 450W PSU that comes included with the enclosure provides stable power to the most demanding systems.
The enclosure is well constructed, and Fractal Design has done a great job by offering a clean chassis that will fit the living room, while also adding some edgy design elements to give those wanting to build an understated gaming rig what they want. The main vents become more restricted in this orientation as the included feet aren’t tall enough to provide good clearance for the vents. When vertical, the RVZ02 is essentially as effective as having the card on an open bench, and a massive 20°C cooler.These two points of contention stop the Node 202 from earning an award, though that doesn't mean you won't get on with it – we can definitely see it winning people over with its looks, especially stood next to the less understated RVZ02. Step 12 Now that the cage is fixed, you can lay the 24PIN ATX cable nicely in the corner and fix it with the eyelet. However the GPU gets rather hot, I replaced the exhaust fan to intake position and I think I will get another one for intake too, instead of air circulation (1 intake, 1 exhaust). The node series from the Swedish manufacturer fractal design has the flexibility, both as a HTPC to act file server, media PC and gaming PC - and that combined with a stylish design, including the black-painted interior with for Fractal design typical white accents.
It comes with customised connectors and tailored cables perfectly fitted for use within the Node 202, contributing to hassle-free installation and cable management. Almost makes me want to cut a hole in my entertainment center and set the case over the top of it for better airflow. The Pixel Accelerator may also be only 47 mm high, thus falling below the graphics card two narrow 120 mm fan can be mounted. A Scythe Shuriken 2 would be a far superior alternative but it’s slightly too tall unless the filter on the top of the case is removed.Step 11 In the Node 202, the only area to stow away remaining cables is between the PSU and the drive cage.
The 2060 is not a top tier card but even with plenty of ventilation holes cut in the cover of the 202, the gpu was still constantly thermally throttling.

I know that the size max of the Node 202 is 130mm for the PSU but I was wondering if it size a normal PSU like a Seasonic M12II Evo. Fractal's included PSU is not modular, so you have to struggle with a mass of extra cables in a cramped case, and the fan isn't the quietest thing (although I remedied this by moving the computer to the other side of my desk so the fan faces away from me). You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.It is silent, but to get it really silent I want to replace later that Alpenfohn fan (despite it's doing really well, I can barely hear him idling) with Noctua 25mm thick (means more air with less rpm, ergo less noise).
Great Deal
