If most of what you'll see of your PC is the front face, it's hard to find a more distinct, classy panel to expose to the world. 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. I recently bought a Fractal North (Charcoal / Black Mesh version) and I just wanted to share some impressions before I forget. We don’t like unanswered questions, but with one test point showing clearly superior performance and another showing merely acceptable performance, need we torture ourselves further?

Our acoustic tests consist of three scenarios: We run the CPU at full load, the CPU and GPU at full load, and an optimized mode. Today's computer has evolved into playing a central role in most homes, creating a demand for appealing design of the computer itself and its accessories. Use of these and any missed payments may affect your ability to obtain credit from Klarna and other lenders. The concept of Fractal Design is to provide products with an extraordinary level of design, without compromising the important factors of quality, functionality and pricing. I also changed the aluminum plate to a polycarbonate one and it really brings out the RGB so if you want brighter RBG switching the plate to an FR4/PC will help with that.Behind the wood are two pre-installed Fractal Design Aspect 140mm fans, which can be replaced with fans or radiators up to 360mm.

The design is complemented by sleekbrass or steel details and an integrated tab for easy access to the top of the case. The only other case we've tested recently with a mesh side panel was the Azza Aero 480, and that did not perform very well. The case also accepts graphics cards up to a maximum length of 355 mm when a fan is mounted on the front panel or just 300 mm in the case of a front radiator.The wood slats give the case a natural, organic appearance and make it stand out in a market that's dominated by black boxes with ugly RGB lighting. has been a big year for Fractal Design; the Swedish case company started off with the Torrent Compact, which was an impressive start. Zooming away from the power supply filter reveals a rear panel with removable power supply bracket, a seven-card expansion card hole that’s made without separators so that it can alternatively support a vertical card bracket, a 120mm fan mount with slotted holes that allow vertical spacing adjustment, and a fabric pull tab that helps builders remove the top panel cover. The case is available in Charcoal Black or Chalk White and it supports Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX, and ATX motherboards, has dimensions of 47. Discount the front face, and the North is a fairly typical modern PC case whether in its mesh or glass side-panel variants.
