## Summary description

The Fractal Design North XL is a versatile desktop case designed for optimal airflow and cooling. It supports ATX power supplies and accommodates front, rear, and top fans of various diameters (120, 140, 180 mm). With dimensions of 240 mm width, 503 mm depth, and 509 mm height, it offers ample space for components while maintaining a sleek black and charcoal aesthetic.

## Long description

The Fractal Design North XL is a large-format desktop PC case that combines natural materials with airflow-focused engineering. It offers a spacious, flexible interior that supports full-size components and multiple radiator configurations. The RC (reverse connector) version provides compatibility with reversed-connector motherboards for a cleaner cable routing and visible layout.
Advantages
The case integrates FSC-certified oak or walnut front panel slats, a faux-leather tab and metal details to create a refined appearance suitable for living-space placement. It supports long GPUs (up to 413 mm, or up to 380 mm when using a 420 mm front radiator), full E-ATX and ATX hidden-connector variants depending on model, and accommodates extensive cooling options including front radiators up to 420 mm and top radiators up to 360 mm. Three 140 mm Aspect PWM fans are included for immediate cooling readiness, and a front USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port delivers up to 20 Gbps transfer speeds.
Suitable for
Custom gaming or high-performance PC builds requiring large GPU and radiator support
Quiet or ventilated builds prioritizing airflow with mesh and open-front options
Systems where a refined, natural-material aesthetic is desired in living areas
Builders who want reverse-connector motherboard layouts for cleaner cable management (RC version)

How to use
Remove the side panels, unclip the front and lift off the top panel using the integrated tab to access the interior. Install the chosen motherboard (ensure compatibility with the case variant: Mesh/TG for E-ATX or RC for reverse-connector boards), mount the PSU and position storage drives in the provided 3.5" and 2.5" bays. Fit radiators and fans according to available clearance—front up to 420 mm or top up to 360 mm—and route cables using the dedicated routing spaces to achieve a clean build.
Usage recommendations
For best airflow and quieter operation, use the mesh version with the full mesh side panel when prioritizing maximum ventilation; choose the RC version only if you plan to use a reverse-connector motherboard for a neater front-facing layout. Allow adequate clearance for long GPUs and large front radiators when configuring cooling.
