Case Fractal North Chalk White - FD-C-NOR1C-03

Fractal North Chalk White is a middle tower case aimed at mid-range and more serious gaming and workstation builds where you want a clean design and good air and water configuration. It supports three main motherboard formats – ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX, giving you freedom in hardware selection. Inside, there is space for a graphics card up to 355 mm and a CPU cooler up to 170 mm, so it can comfortably accommodate most modern GPUs and taller tower air coolers. The model comes without a transparent panel, making it more suitable for those who prefer a clean look and fewer lights.

What you get

The case supports up to 8 x 120 mm or 6 x 140 mm fans, and the case comes with 2 included fans, so you will have basic airflow right from the start and the option to upgrade later for a quieter or cooler system. For custom or AIO water cooling, you have options for radiators up to 360 mm in front, 240 mm on top, and 120 mm in the back, which is more than enough for a powerful gaming or workstation CPU. The power supply is mounted at the bottom, and you can fit a PSU up to 255 mm in length, covering most quieter and more powerful models. With a total of 3 x 3.5" and 5 x 2.5" slots, you can combine several large HDDs for storage plus fast SSDs for the system and games without compromising capacity.

• Support for formats ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX gives you flexibility whether to pursue compactness or more PCIe slots and features on the motherboard.
• As a middle tower, the case balances well between size and internal volume – you have space for serious hardware without taking up half the desk.
• Maximum graphics card length of 355 mm allows installation of most modern longer GPUs without gymnastics.
• Support for air cooling with up to 8 x 120 mm or 6 x 140 mm fans allows you to build a quiet or very well-ventilated build according to your needs.
• Water cooling options – up to 360 mm in front, up to 240 mm on top, and 120 mm in the back – are sufficient for powerful AIO solutions and lower temperatures under load.
• A total of 3 x 3.5" and 5 x 2.5" slots give you serious storage – from large archival HDDs to several SSDs for games, work, and projects.
• The front I/O ports – 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C, 2 x USB 3.0, and HD Audio – provide fast connections for external drives, peripherals, and headphones exactly where you need them.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable for gamers and power users who want a tidy mid-tower build with serious cooling options – air or water, plus plenty of storage. It is also suitable for a quieter workstation with a more powerful CPU and GPU, where the radiators and multiple fans help keep temperatures under control. If you are looking for a showcase with a window and RGB, this is not the most logical choice – here the focus is more on functionality and a clean appearance.

The strongest aspect of this model is the combination of serious cooling flexibility, space for long graphics cards, and many storage devices, without going beyond a reasonable size for a standard gaming or workstation PC.
