Review on Fractal FBA_FD CA NODE 202 BK Design Node 202 by Thanh Qu ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

I assembled the assembly on the red process Motherboard - gigabyte b450 i aorus pro wifi Power supply - Corsair SF450 (I advise you to take a new generation with platinum certification - wires are more convenient there) RAM - Crucial Ballistix Sport LT Grau 16GB DDR4 Kit (3200MHz) - Processor - AMD 5 3600 - Thermal paste - Arctic Cooling MX-4 - SSD - 500 GB Samsung SSD 970 Evo Plus M.2 NVMe - video card temporary - GeForse 1060 - The cooler (the most important) was originally an ID Colling IS-40X with a Noctua NF-A9x14 installed instead of the native fan, but this Chinese friend did a poor job of 65-70 degrees in idle, the load was still 90-95. Also, its fastening killed me - with such "fasteners" you can safely break or disable the motherboard I changed it to the Japanese novelty Scythe Shuriken 2 SCSK-2022 (with a height of 58 mm it stood up like a native and the dust collector remained in place) and also replaced the fan with Noctua NF-A9x14 (do not throw it away), the temperature dropped to 55-60 degrees at 1100 rpm fan - it is not audible even if the ear is applied. You can buy this cooler ONLY in Japan, I used the "zenmarket" as a result, it came out with delivery to Hong Kong in 3500 Buy only good coolers - in a small case, cooling is the weakest point

Pros
  • Slim and elegant, in my case, and perfectly quiet, and this was the main criterion for me
Cons
  • Plastic clips - on which one of the side covers is held. It's hard to take off and hard to install. A small list of available good coolers for the AM4 socket that will fit into it without problems (the problem is slowly being solved due to the growing popularity of Ryzen)

Pros below: really small, but the place is well organized and small amenities in their place. Got cons: a plastic cover could make an iron one, but perhaps this is for better transmission of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
