Full details

Its key benefit lies in superior airflow management with powerful Momentum 12 fans and a mesh front, ensuring components stay cool under load.

FAQs

What size motherboards does the Fractal Design North support?

The Fractal Design North case supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards.

How many fans are included with the case?

This specific Momentum Edition model comes with three pre-installed Fractal Design Momentum 12 fans.

What is the maximum GPU length supported?

The case supports GPUs up to 355 mm in length. This is reduced to 300 mm if a front radiator is installed.

Can I install a liquid cooler?

Yes, you can install a 240mm or 280mm radiator in the front of the case. A CPU air cooler up to 170mm tall is also supported.

How do I access the interior for building?

The side panels are tool-less, allowing for easy removal. The top panel slides off and features an integrated tab for convenient access.

What material is the front panel made of?

The front panel is made of blackened oak, contributing to its unique aesthetic.

Does this case come with dust filters?

The case features a mesh top and a ventilated front for airflow. While it doesn't explicitly list removable dust filters for the front in its core description, the mesh design helps manage dust, and regular cleaning is recommended.

Troubleshooting

PC won't power on

Ensure the power supply unit is properly connected to the case's front panel connectors and the wall outlet. Double-check all internal power cable connections.

Overheating components

Verify that all fans are spinning and oriented correctly for optimal airflow (intake at the front, exhaust at the rear/top). Ensure no cables are obstructing fan blades or airflow paths. Clean any dust buildup on fans and filters.

Difficulty installing motherboard

Ensure the case's motherboard standoffs are correctly installed for your motherboard size (ATX, mATX, ITX). Remove any excess standoffs if present.

Radiator or GPU clearance issues

If installing a front radiator, confirm your GPU length does not exceed 300mm. Check CPU cooler height clearance (max 170mm) if using an air cooler.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent airflow capabilities to keep components cool.
Unique and stylish design with premium materials.
Easy access for building and maintenance.
Good GPU clearance for most modern graphics cards.
Includes high-quality pre-installed fans.

Cons

GPU length is reduced if a front radiator is installed.
Limited space for extensive custom water cooling loops.
Front panel, while stylish, is primarily mesh for airflow, which might allow more dust ingress without filters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Begin by removing the tool-less side panels. Install your motherboard, CPU, RAM, and other core components following standard PC building practices. Mount your power supply and storage drives in their designated bays. Install your graphics card, paying attention to the length limitations if you plan to use a front radiator. Connect all power and data cables. Finally, reattach the side panels and the slide-to-remove top panel.

Compatibility: This case supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. It has clearance for GPUs up to 355mm (or 300mm with a front radiator) and CPU coolers up to 170mm tall. The PSU bay supports standard ATX power supplies.

Care: To maintain optimal airflow and aesthetics, regularly dust the exterior panels and interior. Use a soft, dry cloth for the blackened oak front and alloy details. For the tempered glass panel, a microfiber cloth is recommended. The mesh areas can be cleaned with a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
