Fractal Design North Charcoal Black Tempered Glass Dark - Wood Walnut front - Glass side panel - Two 140mm Aspect PWM fans included - Type C USB - ATX Airflow Mid Tower PC Gaming Case

Product Information

Install multiple graphics cards, large CPU coolers (max 170mm without fan bracket), and plenty of storage drives with ease, thanks to the spacious interior layout. By that time, I’d already self-published some guidelines on hardcore PC stuff: pin-modifying processors to defeat compatibility checks and overclock non-overclockable systems.

Front-panel cables include a power switch lead, power LED, HD Audio (for the headphone and microphone jacks), a Gen 1 cable for the two Type-A ports and a Gen 2 cable for the single Type-C USB 3. I chose the following setup: 240AIO in front as push intake, 2x120mm fans on the side bracket in the lowest position (this is the main cold air intake and helps a lot with GPU temperatures), 2x120mm in the top + 120mm in the back as exhaust (relaxed RPM). Fractal's North, though, performed exceptionally well in our testing – especially with CPU thermals. And it can be mounted in three different locations (bottom, middle, or top) to best suit the needs of your build. The North is an ATX mid-tower chassis that features wood slats on the front panel (backed by mesh) and the option for a mesh or tempered-glass side panel.Since the fan hub has no power source other than the motherboard’s fan header, builders should consider the output rating of their fan header before connecting everything through the hub.

The cooler’s dual 120mm fans make it ideal for top-panel placement in most cases, which allows it to provide airflow around our motherboard’s CPU voltage regulator, while the Dagger Pro’s combination of SFX housing, a PS2 adapter plate, and mid-length power cables allow it to fit both compact and full-size cases. The mesh panel also comes with a side fan bracket that can fit a maximum of 280mm fan configuration and can be mounted in 3 different locations to best suit the needs of your build. It's a solid choice for anyone looking for a case that stands out from the crowd and offers plenty of cooling options.To be fair all the versions of this case are quite pleasant to look at, and the fact that they are decent cases as well makes it all the better. Additional slots that look like they could hold fans don’t appear to be spaced for any familiar fan sizes.
