Review on Fractal FBA_FD CA NODE 202 BK Design Node 202 by Ada Dymowska ᠌

An excellent case for assembling compact full-fledged systems based on Mini-ITX motherboards. It turned out to put even a large video card like RX570/580/590 nitro + into the case. For the subsequent convenience of mounting the video card, I cut off a piece of iron as in the photo, it does not affect the rigidity of the structure, the video card is already perfectly clamped. To organize additional airflow of Ryksa 120 with turntables, low-profile (15mm) spinners had to be installed, since standard turntables of 25mm thickness touched the turntables of the video card itself during operation. To purge the processor part, I also used a low-profile (15mm) 140 valve, fixing it on a removable dust filter, while completely abandoning the torsion bar for the processor, leaving only the heatsink. As a result, I achieved a mega quiet assembly without sacrificing performance. Even under load in complete silence, the system is barely audible and the temperatures are surprisingly lower than in the thermaltake versa h17 case with all possible fans installed. I also stuffed 3 ssd into the case instead of 2 that could be installed. I will supplement the review after a year of exploitation and changes in the config. The is-40 CPU cooler has been replaced with an is-60, the ryksa 570 nitro+ has been replaced with a gtx 1660 palit super Gaming Pro. Assembly is super quiet.
