Node 202 Small form factor questions..

[bigwilydd]

Hello beautiful people, thank you for the help in advance.

 

I am looking to build a small form factor build and have settled on the fractal design Node 202. 

Pcpartpicker node202

I want to know if it is possible to have a Ryzen 5600x and rtx3070 in there without heat issues, as I understand it will get very hot in a small build and these are beefy components. I plan on cooling the CPU with a Noctua cooler: Pcpartpicker noctua 

and there is room for 2 120mm fans in the GPU compartment that I will put 2 more Noctua fans in. 

Do you think this will be sufficient cooling for these components? Will I be forced to settle for less powerful components? OR is there any other suggestions you have to provide sufficient cooling? 

Thanks!

The 5600x is very cool and power efficient, so you wonçt have an issue cooling that. The 3070 should be fine as well. I think you'd have problems with the 3080 or 3090

3070 is a hungry card and the node is known for not having the greatest temperatures.

 

CPU will be fine, but I'd be more worried about the gpu. Generally you'll be fine, just maybe a little hotter and louder than in a conventional ATX or mATX case

Awesome, thank you for your input  !

The CPU should be fine, if maybe a little noisy under load. Unless you find a reference (I'm sorry, "Founders edition") RTX 3070, I doubt you'll be able to fit 2 Noctua fans in the GPU compartment, it seems most non-reference cards are ~2.5 slot or so cards. It may also not improve your temps if you can actually fit them there, all the might do is screw with your GPU fans.

I was worried about fitting fans in there and it messing with the gpu fans, but I had seen other completed builds with them included. I think I will skip the fans at first and test temps before trying more fans. There is no blower style cards for the 3070 right?  Thanks for your help

you want good GPU temps?
