Node 202 included 450W powersupply

[DebatED Nothing]

Is the power supply included in the Node 202 by Fractal design good? Will it suffice for an approximately 320 W build in that case?

It's of relatively good quality, so it'll more than suffice.

The two exceptions to good case PSUs are the Fractal Node 202 and the EVGA Hadron.

fractal design uses reputable psu brands so your fine. But they are about the only ones that offer a psu included that is not garbage. a few others that make quality psu that may come with the cases are evga and in win but those are the only ones i can think of

I'll use it then, seeing as I imagine their PSU comes with cables of appropriate length for the case etc.

Thanks for the advice, but don't entirely dismiss shitty "included in case" psus, they can be good for tinkering and stuff (I use one I got on Amazon for £15 to test brushless RC motors because they draw a lot of current)

We've already had two forum members (that I know of) and Paul iAmApropos that have had their Node 202 450W power supplies die on them. I would expect it to do so as the case that has an included PSU doesn't cost much more meaning it's a cheap unit. I'd get the Corsair SF450 which is an amazing little unit.
