Case Fractal North XL Chalk White TG Clear - FD-C-NOR1X-04

Fractal North XL Chalk White TG Clear is a middle tower case aimed at mid-range to high-end configurations, where you want both good aesthetics and airflow. It supports a wide range of motherboard formats – from Mini ITX to Extended ATX, so you can comfortably plan a more serious build. The side panel made of tempered glass showcases the hardware, and the three included Aspect 140mm PWM fans provide a solid start for cooling. The space for a graphics card up to 413 mm and for an air cooler up to 185 mm allows you to install a massive GPU and a serious CPU cooler without drama.

What you get

You get a chassis that is prepared for serious airflow and water cooling, without wondering where to fit the radiators. You can install up to 420/360 mm radiator in the front, up to 280/360 mm on top, plus an option for 120/140 mm at the back, which gives a lot of freedom for custom loops or larger AIOs. With the three included 140 mm PWM fans right out of the box, you have a basic, well-balanced airflow, while the remaining positions are left for fine-tuning according to the configuration. With separate 2 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5" slots, you can combine large HDDs for storage with fast SSDs for the system and games. The power supply is located at the bottom, supporting a length of up to 290 mm, which is convenient if you plan a more powerful PSU with modular cables.

• Support for motherboards ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX, and Extended ATX, giving you freedom to choose from compact to beefy platforms.
• Form factor Middle Tower, balanced between volume, space for components, and ease of installation.
• Three included Aspect 140mm PWM fans in the front, providing serious initial airflow without needing to buy additional ones during assembly.
• Space for a graphics card up to 413 mm, allowing installation of long high-end GPUs without conflict with the front radiator or fans.
• Support for water cooling in the front up to 420/360 mm and on top up to 280/360 mm, suitable for powerful CPUs and quiet cooling configurations.
• Side panel made of tempered glass, showcasing the hardware and RGB, if you choose to use it.
• Modern I/O panel with 1 x USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C, 2 x USB 3.0, and combined Audio & Mic ports for easy access on the desk.
• Support for PSU up to 290 mm in a bottom position, helping for better airflow separation and cleaner cable management.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable if you want a serious gaming or workhorse build with a large GPU, potentially a 360/420 mm AIO, and enough space for storage. It is a good choice for 1440p/4K gaming configurations, streaming, or heavy productivity, where cooling and space inside are a priority. If your goal is a super small, ultra-compact build, this chassis will likely be larger than you need.

The combination of spacious interior, rich support for fans and radiators, and glass panel makes Fractal North XL Chalk White TG Clear a very stable foundation for a clean, well-cooled, and visually organized build.
