Review on Fractal Design Node 304 - Black - Mini Cube Compact Computer Case - Small Form Factor - Mini ITX – mITX - Enhanced Airflow - Modular Interior - Includes 3x Fractal Design Silent R2 120mm Fans - USB 3.0 by Gap Tawan ᠌

Paid 4500r for it to use as a server in my home. I've heard that the fans in this scenario don't begin in the reobas' "silent" position. Here is where I begin. It's possible that the PSU's quality affects how severe this start-up problem is. I installed a mother board, a Celeron G1820 processor, five drives (WD Green and Red), and a low-profile cooler in the case. Aside from the boards already there, no others were added. Stress tests and operations including moving terabytes of data from drive to disk indicated the following temperatures at the lowest and quietest cooling modes. There was no increase in temperature during stress testing at temperatures more than 45 degrees. Assuming a state of relative inactivity (data copying), we find that temperatures range between 39.5 and 41.1 degrees. - After two hours of continuous copying, the temperature of hards drops to between 39 and 42 degrees (the temperature of hards in the normal mode of distributing torrents and reading files for a media player is 36-38 degrees). - Generally speaking, the electricity grid is icy (although this is probably not due to cooling inside the case, but due to a small load on it.). The "technical hole" in the back wall allowed me to sneak the Reset button out. When the fans are set to their quietest setting, there is no noise at all. The ruffle is barely heard on "medium," but the setting is still very pleasant. While operating at "full" power, the fans make a lot of noise.
