Fractal Design North XL Momentum Edition Case, Black TG Light Tint, Blackened Oak Front, E-ATX Support | FD-C-NOR1X-07

The North XL Momentum Edition (FD-C-NOR1X-07) takes the transformative aesthetic of the original North and pushes it toward an elite, "all-black" performance standard. By replacing traditional wood tones with FSC-certified blackened oak slats, Fractal has created a chassis that fits as naturally into a high-end designer office as it does a stealth gaming cave. The dark alloy accents and light-tinted tempered glass provide a clear but refined view of your internal components.
 

Elite "Momentum" Cooling Performance
The core of this edition is the upgraded cooling system. It comes pre-installed with three Momentum 14 PWM fans, which utilize high-tech Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) blades and true fluid dynamic bearings. These fans are engineered to be up to 4 dBA quieter while delivering more static pressure than the previous Aspect series. This ensures that even kilowatt-class systems, like those featuring an RTX 5090, remain cool and quiet during intense workloads.

Expanded E-ATX & Back-Connect Support
The XL frame provides significantly more internal volume than the standard North, accommodating E-ATX motherboards (up to 275mm) and GPUs up to 413mm in length. A key structural improvement in the Momentum Edition is the widened cable management channel—now 37mm deep—which specifically enables support for back-connector motherboards (such as MSI Project Zero or ASUS BTF). This allows for a "cable-less" interior aesthetic that was previously difficult to achieve in the original North.
 

Versatile Radiator & Storage Options
Enthusiasts can push their thermal limits with support for a 420mm radiator in the front and a 360mm radiator on top simultaneously. The tool-less access to the top, front, and side panels makes the building process fluid and intuitive. Storage is equally flexible, featuring two dedicated 2.5" drive mounts and two combined 3.5"/2.5" bays, ensuring you have the capacity for massive media libraries or high-speed gaming drives.
