Case Fractal Ridge Black ITX PCIe 4.0 - FD-C-RID1N-11

Fractal Ridge Black ITX is a compact Mini ITX case in Mini Tower form, aimed at small, clean, and well-organized gaming or multimedia systems. The dimensions 355 x 95 x 375 mm and weight 4.3 kg make it an excellent choice for a TV cabinet, desk with limited space, or minimalist setup. Despite its small volume, the case accommodates a graphics card up to 335 mm and supports SFX/SFX-L power supplies, giving you plenty of freedom to choose powerful hardware. The black panel without a window and the lack of RGB make it discreet and unobtrusive – the focus is on functionality and compactness, not on a light show.

What you get

The layout of Fractal Ridge is optimized for long graphics cards, with three expansion slots allowing you to mount thicker GPUs typical of modern gaming models. The limitation for air cooler height to 70 mm directs the configuration towards low towers or low-profile coolers, and if needed, you can also use liquid cooling up to 120 mm. The ventilation potential is serious for this size – it supports up to 2 x 120/140 mm and 3 x 80 mm fans, allowing you to build targeted airflow according to the placement of components. With up to 4 x 2.5" slots for SSDs, you have enough space for a fast storage solution – system, games, and media collection in a fully compact ITX chassis. The premium I/O panel with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C (20 Gbps) gives you super-fast access to external SSDs and peripherals directly from the front panel.

• Compact Mini ITX format and Mini Tower form factor with dimensions 355 x 95 x 375 mm, suitable for a small desk or TV cabinet.
• Support for graphics cards up to 335 mm and 3 expansion slots, allowing the use of modern, thicker GPU models.
• Ability to mount up to 2 x 120/140 mm and 3 x 80 mm fans for adequate airflow in a compact chassis.
• Compatibility with SFX/SFX-L power supplies, which reduces occupied space and eases cable management; the case comes without a power supply.
• Support for liquid cooling up to 120 mm, useful for hotter CPU configurations in a small volume.
• Up to 4 x 2.5" slots for SSDs, which is fully sufficient for gaming, work, and media storage in a compact ITX system.
• Modern I/O panel with 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C (20 Gbps), 2 x USB 3.0, and combo audio jack for convenient access to fast transfer and peripherals.

Who it is suitable for

Fractal Ridge Black ITX is suitable if you are aiming for a small, stylish, and quiet build – a gaming machine next to the daily TV, a compact desk, or a minimalist workstation configuration. It fits particularly well if you want a powerful graphics card but not a huge case. It is not the best choice if you insist on a tall, massive air cooler for the CPU or an aggressive RGB build with a window for display.

The combination of support for long graphics cards, SFX/SFX-L power supply, many fan options, and fast Type-C at the front makes this case a strong candidate for a serious ITX build in minimal volume. If you need a compact and functional foundation for a powerful system, Fractal Ridge provides exactly that without unnecessary embellishments.
