Fractal Design Node 605 Review

Clearance – CPU cooler, GPU

Clearance is an important aspect of case design for the enthusiast as it establishes whether certain hardware will be compatible with a chassis or not.

Due to Node 605 taking on a desktop orientation the CPU cooler clearance is somewhat limiting but this case can house coolers with a height of up to 140mm. This will rule out the bigger, flagship products and push system builders to opting for low-profile options instead.


Up to 140mm in clearance for CPU coolers


Node 605 can accommodate long graphics cards, though you may need to remove HDD brackets in order to fit a substantial card inside. If the card is over 10.5" in length care needs to be taken as the card could be obstructed by the lip and components from the front panel.
