North Momentum Tempered Glass Mid Tower Gaming Case from Fractal Design

Momentum, RefinedNorth Momentum Edition evolves the North design language with a sharper focus on airflow and hardware. Natural materials meet purpose-built cooling, delivered as standard. A blackened oak front panel pairs with dark alloy accents for a subdued, architectural look. Open front intake and a mesh top panel remain core to the design, keeping airflow direct and unobstructed. Inside, the layout supports modern high-end components with room to scale — from long graphics cards to large radiators — all within a clean, accessible mid-tower format.

Minimal Design. Maximal Effect.

Open Front AirflowNorth Momentum Edition is built around a direct airflow path, formed by an open front intake and a full mesh top panel. The structure prioritises intake volume and low restriction, guiding air cleanly through the main chamber and out of the system without unnecessary obstruction. The internal layout is arranged to accommodate modern components without crowding. Clearance for long graphics cards and large cooling hardware is preserved, while airflow paths remain open to maintain predictable thermal behaviour across the system.

Cool. Controlled.3x Momentum 12 FansThe North Momentum is supplied with three pre-installed Momentum 12 fans, using liquid crystal polymer blades and FDB bearings to maintain stability and efficiency. They each deliver a maximum rotational speed of 2,200 RPM, airflow of 67.34 CFM, and static pressure of 2.51mmH2O



AIO SupportSupport for large liquid radiators and multiple fan placements allows the chassis to scale with increasingly demanding hardware. Front-mounted radiators up to 360 mm, top-mounted radiators up to 240 mm, and rear exhaust cooling provides endless opportunities.

Easy Maintainance

Clean Internal LayoutTool-less access panels reduce friction during installation and upgrades. A slide-to-remove top panel provides fast, unobstructed access to fans and radiators, allowing cooling hardware to be installed or serviced without dismantling the chassis.

Smart and Simple CablingBehind the motherboard tray, 30 mm of dedicated cable routing space keeps cables contained and out of sight. Tie-down points and mounting locations support clean routing, helping preserve airflow while maintaining a restrained internal appearance.
