Review on Fractal Design Define Nano Case by Wiktor Borowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

A good case for a compact PC with hardware from a full-sized monster). It's perfect for my needs. It turned out to achieve almost silent operation in games. For my components the best combination. Especially for a noisy vidyahi, fans from the bottom help out. In the future, I will put the CBO on the video card. And SFX power supply with adapter frame. Also, please don't take Fractal dropsy. Their ceramic pumps have an extremely parasitic and unpleasant sound. A month later, mine started to gurgle and crack like that. 07/27/19: I am still more than satisfied with the case, I want to finish the review and summarize the above plans, which I finally implemented and put an end to building a quiet machine, where irritants are minimized even in game mode. So, I got rid of dropsy, for the first time in my life I decided to order the exclusive Seasonic SGX-650 in the sfx-l form factor, thanks to which I was able to install a 2.5-slot PTX video card. You can see the final result in the photo. I am satisfied. The path was difficult, so I am not satisfied with the first sfx power supply of the Corsair sf-600, in games it turns at 1800 rpm, which, as it were, stood out noticeably against the backdrop of the then even 1080 video card, which, as for me, was noisy. And when I sold it and bought "yes again" strix rth 2070, it became generally kaef. Strix again because there is a quiet mode switch right on the video card without software, in games 1200 rpm, which is very quiet, it used to be 1800-2022 on strix 1080. By the way, additional turntables on strix rth 2070 do not work normally, or did not work, so I decided to build a computer that would work quietly out of the box and WITHOUT software. Therefore, the switch for the RTX Strix 2070 is most welcome. In addition, I just put the ultimate giant dark rock 4 pro there, and yes, it did fit in and the lid closes!) By the way, I also tried the regular version of dark rock 4, and to be honest, you can take it without a doubt, I’m of some kind I did not notice a serious improvement, although I thought that it would (.

Pros
  • - Small size. - Huge dust filter at the bottom and front. - Beautiful white fans, can be assembled beautifully. - There are 2 x 2.5 inches and 1 x 3.5 discs. - Ability to install another 2.5 in place for a 3.5 drive. - It's very cool that you can put the cooler on the floor of the case, from where it actually pumps cold air. Cools down the video card. - The usual and shortened power supply is put with a bang.
Cons
  • - The kit does not include a dust filter on top. - A little advice, do not mount both 2.5 disks at once on the mount under the processor, as in my photo, it heats up noticeably. Not critical, but if possible, it is better to put 2.5 on the installation site of the 3.5 disk. - Seemed a little noisy, especially the rear cooler creates some howl at about 800-900 rpm. Moreover, both regular and expensive fans from Be Quite. And if you bend down under the table, you can hear the crackling of the throttles from the Asus Strix GTX1080 video card, which I do not recommend, noisy tin. The fans run at 38% rpm. That is, if the vidyakha starts the turntables, they work at least at 1400rpm, which is noisy. And there was one turntable crackling, but that's another story. I highly do not recommend her. - The video card should be no thicker than 2.5 slots and no longer than 315mm (ONLY if there is a fan in front of the video card, if you put a 2-section dropsy, you will have to look shorter by the width of the radiator). - Dust filters could be better. Well, it’s true, I just had others before and they protected better from dust.
