Fractal Design North XL Chalk White TG Clear E-ATX Mid-Tower Case – FD-C-NOR1X-04

A Masterpiece of Modern Design for High-End PC Gaming

The Fractal Design North XL Chalk White TG Clear shatters the mold of traditional PC case design, offering a transformative aesthetic that acts as a stunning centerpiece for any contemporary living space or professional studio. At the heart of its mid-century modern appeal is a breathtaking front panel, meticulously crafted from authentic, FSC-certified wood bars in either oak or walnut. This luxurious natural element is perfectly complemented by sleek, refined alloy details and a tactile faux leather pull tab. Wrapped in a pristine Chalk White finish and featuring a crystal-clear tempered glass side panel, this chassis allows you to proudly showcase your premium hardware and custom RGB lighting configurations with unparalleled elegance.

Generous Dimensions for Ultimate Build Versatility

Behind its sophisticated exterior lies a cavernous, highly adaptable interior engineered to house the absolute largest and most powerful PC components available. The significantly expanded “XL” layout effortlessly accommodates massive E-ATX motherboards (up to 330 mm), granting builders incredible flexibility. Enthusiasts can install the market’s most colossal graphics cards, boasting an incredible 413 mm of GPU clearance. Even if you choose to max out your thermal management with a massive 420 mm front-mounted liquid cooling radiator, you still retain a highly generous 380 mm of space, ensuring zero compromises between raw graphical horsepower and extreme cooling performance.

Uncompromised Airflow and Extreme Liquid Cooling Support

To keep flagship processors and next-generation graphics cards running at peak efficiency, the North XL utilizes an open front design and a beautifully integrated mesh top panel that promotes natural, unobstructed ventilation. To guarantee your build starts strong, Fractal Design includes three high-performance 140 mm Aspect PWM fans pre-installed in the front intake. For those pushing the absolute limits with custom liquid cooling loops or massive AIOs, the chassis provides massive thermal headroom. The case comfortably supports colossal front radiators up to 420 mm and top exhaust radiators up to 360 mm, ensuring your system remains whisper-quiet and perfectly chilled under the most demanding workloads.

Intuitive Builder Experience and Blazing-Fast Connectivity

Fractal Design is celebrated for its incredibly thoughtful, builder-centric engineering, and the North XL makes assembling your dream PC an absolute joy. Gaining access to the interior is entirely tool-less—simply pop off the top panel using the integrated tab, unclip the front, and remove the side panels. Cable management is heavily streamlined thanks to an ample 29 mm of routing space behind the motherboard tray, high-quality rubber grommets, and included fixed Velcro straps. To keep you connected to the fastest modern peripherals, the sleek top I/O interface features dual USB 3.0 ports, standard audio/mic jacks, and a blazing-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port capable of staggering data transfer speeds up to 20 Gbps.
