Fractal Design North XL Charcoal Black TG Dark E-ATX Mid-Tower Case – FD-C-NOR1X-02

Mid-Century Modern Design Meets High-Performance Gaming

The Fractal Design North XL Charcoal Black TG Dark is a masterclass in blending high-end PC enthusiast engineering with sophisticated interior design. Moving away from standard gaming case aesthetics, the North XL introduces a luxurious front panel crafted from authentic, FSC-certified wood. This natural element is flawlessly accented by a tactile faux leather pull tab and sleek alloy details. The “TG Dark” version features a stunning, darkly tinted tempered glass side panel, allowing you to showcase your premium internal components and RGB lighting with a subtle, professional elegance. It’s a chassis designed not just to house a powerful PC, but to elevate the aesthetics of your entire living space or creative studio.

Massive Dimensions for Extreme E-ATX Builds

Don’t let the elegant exterior fool you; the North XL is built to accommodate the absolute largest and most powerful hardware on the market. With its significantly expanded internal layout, this case effortlessly supports massive E-ATX motherboards (up to 330 mm). Gamers will rejoice at the exceptional graphics card clearance, boasting enough room to fit behemoth GPUs up to 413 mm in length. Even if you choose to install a thick, 420 mm front-mounted liquid cooling radiator, you still retain a generous 380 mm of GPU clearance, ensuring that you never have to compromise on either graphics horsepower or extreme thermal management.

Uncompromising Airflow and Superior Liquid Cooling Support

To keep flagship processors and graphics cards running at peak efficiency, the North XL utilizes an open front design that promotes natural, unobstructed ventilation. To get your build off to a tremendous start, Fractal Design includes three high-performance 140 mm Aspect PWM fans pre-installed in the front intake. For liquid cooling enthusiasts, the expanded chassis size opens up a world of extreme possibilities. The case comfortably supports massive front radiators up to 420 mm and top exhaust radiators up to 360 mm simultaneously, giving you the thermal headroom necessary for aggressive overclocking and whisper-quiet operation under heavy loads.

Intuitive Assembly and Lightning-Fast I/O Connectivity

Fractal Design is renowned for its builder-friendly approach, and the North XL makes assembling your dream PC a joy. Gaining access to the interior is entirely tool-less—simply remove the side panels, unclip the front wood panel, and pop off the top mesh panel using the integrated tab. Managing your cables is incredibly easy thanks to an ample 29 mm of routing space, strategically placed rubber grommets, and included fixed Velcro straps. To keep you connected to the future, the sleek top I/O panel features dual USB 3.0 ports, standard audio jacks, and a blazing-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C port capable of transferring data at a staggering 20 Gbps.
