Case Fractal North Charcoal Black TG Dark Thint - FD-C-NOR1C-02

Fractal North Charcoal Black TG Dark is a middle tower case aimed at well-balanced mid-range and high-end configurations. It supports ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards, giving you the freedom to build a more compact or more serious system. The side panel made of tempered glass provides a clear view of the hardware and lighting if you choose to add it. Inside, you have space for a graphics card up to 355 mm and a CPU cooler up to 170 mm, which covers a large part of modern gaming and creator configurations.

What you get

The case comes with 2 included fans, and you can install up to 8 x 120 mm or 6 x 140 mm, allowing you to build a strong and quiet airflow according to your hardware and room. The support for water cooling is flexible – up to 360 mm in the front, 240 mm on top, and 120 mm at the back, so you can easily plan an AIO for a more powerful CPU without wondering where to fit it. For storage, you have 3 x 3.5" and 5 x 2.5" slots, which is more than enough for a combination of several SSDs for the system/games and a large HDD array for files. The power supply is mounted at the bottom, supporting models up to 255 mm, so you are free to install a longer, more powerful PSU without sacrificing cable management. On the front panel, you have modern I/O options, including USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type‑C, which is convenient for fast external SSDs and new peripherals.

• Middle tower format with support for ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards, giving you flexibility in choosing a board and configuration.
• Side panel made of tempered glass, allowing you to showcase clean cable management and RGB if you opt for illuminated components.
• Support for up to 8 x 120 mm or 6 x 140 mm fans and 2 included fans for a good start to airflow right out of the box.
• Ready for water cooling – up to 360 mm in the front, 240 mm on top, and 120 mm at the back, suitable for AIO solutions for more serious CPUs.
• Generous internal space for components with max. graphics card length 355 mm and max. cooler height 170 mm, covering most gaming GPU and CPU coolers.
• Storage space with 3 x 3.5" and 5 x 2.5" slots, allowing a combination of several SSDs and HDDs according to your needs.
• Modern front panel with 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type‑C, 2 x USB 3.0, and HD Audio, so you don’t have to search the back ports for every drive or headphones.
• Support for a power supply unit up to 255 mm, mounted at the bottom, which helps for a lower center of gravity and better overall airflow.

Who it is suitable for

This case is a good choice if you are building a clean mid-range or high-end gaming/work machine with an ATX motherboard, a serious GPU, and potentially water cooling. It is also suitable for users with more drives – photos, videos, projects – who want a tidy, quiet, and well-ventilated case. If you are aiming for an ultra-compact ITX system or need a 5.25" device (optical, front bay controller), you won’t find it here.

The combination of spacious internal volume, tempered glass, and rich cooling options makes Fractal North Charcoal Black TG Dark a balanced foundation for a serious yet visually clean build.
