The Fractal Design North Momentum Edition ATX Gaming Case is a performance-focused expression of a modern design icon, expertly crafted to integrate seamlessly into sophisticated gaming stations and professional workspaces. Featuring a striking blackened oak front panel complemented by dark alloy accents and subtle brass hardware details, this chassis provides a fully black, cohesive aesthetic. The tempered glass side window panel offers an immaculate view of your high-end internal components while preserving a refined, furniture-like elegance that elevates any room.
High-Performance Cooling with Momentum 12 Fans
Engineered for exceptional thermal efficiency straight out of the box, the North Momentum Edition comes pre-equipped with three powerful Momentum 12 fans. These advanced 120mm fans utilize specialized Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) blades and reliable Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB) to deliver smooth, quiet, and high-volume airflow across critical system components. Working in tandem with the open-front design and integrated mesh top panel, the chassis ensures continuous, unobstructed ventilation to keep your hardware operating at peak clock speeds during intense gaming sessions.
Exceptional Hardware Compatibility and Clearances
Designed to accommodate robust enthusiast setups, the spacious interior supports standard ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards without compromise. Builders can install high-end graphics cards up to 355mm in length with front fans mounted, or up to 300mm when pairing the case with a front-mounted radiator. Additionally, the chassis provides generous room for CPU air coolers up to 170mm in height and accommodates ATX power supplies up to 255mm deep, ensuring broad hardware flexibility for powerful builds.
Versatile Radiator and Liquid-Cooling Support
For enthusiasts dedicated to advanced liquid-cooling configurations, the North Momentum Edition delivers stellar flexibility. The front mounting brackets support massive radiators up to 360mm, while the top panel accommodates radiators up to 240mm for comprehensive thermal management. Combined with a dedicated rear 120mm radiator mount, builders have all the architectural support necessary to maintain optimal thermal headroom under heavy multi-core workloads and prolonged gaming loads.
Intuitive Cable Management and Storage Solutions
Achieving a clean, professional build is effortless thanks to a well-organized interior featuring 30mm of dedicated cable routing space behind the motherboard tray. Complete with pre-installed hook-and-loop straps and rubber routing grommets, managing cables is fast and tidy. For storage, the chassis provides two dedicated 2.5-inch drive mounts behind the motherboard tray alongside two combined 3.5/2.5-inch drive bays, ensuring ample capacity for all your games and media libraries.
Seamless Tool-Less Access and Modern Front Connectivity
Maintenance and upgrades are streamlined through tool-less access panels on the top, left, right, and front, including a slide-to-remove top panel equipped with an integrated faux leather tab. The front I/O panel offers lightning-fast connectivity with dual USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-A ports, a high-speed USB-C 20Gbps port, and separate 3.5mm audio and microphone jacks, ensuring modern peripheral compatibility right at your fingertips.
