Fractal Design North Momentum Edition Black Mid Tower Tempered Glass Chassis

Fractal Design North Momentum Edition Case

The Fractal Design North Momentum Edition introduces a performance-focused evolution of the North design language, combining refined materials with enhanced cooling hardware supplied as standard. Retaining the signature open front architecture and integrated mesh top panel, this mid-tower chassis is equipped with three high-performance Momentum 12 fans featuring LCP fan blades and fluid dynamic bearings, delivering strong airflow straight out of the box. The exterior adopts a distinctive fully black expression, pairing a blackened oak front panel with dark alloy design accents to create a premium, understated aesthetic suited to modern gaming or even professional environments. Internally, the streamlined layout supports high-end components including graphics cards up to 355mm in length, while offering broad cooling flexibility with support for large liquid radiators and tall air coolers. With tool-less access, a slide-to-remove top panel, extensive mounting options for cooling, and front connectivity including high-speed USB-C; the North Momentum Edition case provides a balanced foundation for high-performance gaming systems that prioritise airflow, build quality and visual refinement.

Performance-Driven Cooling Architecture

The North Momentum Edition case is built around a high-airflow structure that combines an open front intake design with a mesh top panel, ensuring unobstructed airflow paths through the main chamber. It supports extensive cooling configurations - including up to a 360mm front radiator, up to a 240mm top radiator, or a 120mm rear radiator - allowing the system to be tuned for demanding thermal loads. Fan mounting options include three 120mm or two 140mm fans at the front, two 120mm or two 140mm fans at the top, and a 120mm fan at the rear, enabling flexible airflow layouts for both air-cooled and liquid-cooled systems.

Momentum 12 Fan Technology

The North Momentum Edition case is supplied with three pre-installed Momentum 12 fans engineered for high performance and low noise operation. Each Momentum 12 fan uses liquid crystal polymer blades and FDB bearings to maintain stability and efficiency at higher speeds, delivering a maximum rotational speed of 2,200 RPM, airflow of 67.34 CFM, and static pressure of 2.51mmH2O. This fan configuration enables strong intake and exhaust performance straight out of the box, reducing the need for immediate cooling upgrades.

High-End Hardware Compatibility

The North Momentum Edition case features a spacious internal layout designed to support modern gaming hardware with minimal compromise. It accommodates graphics cards up to 355mm in length, or up to 300mm when a 360mm front radiator is installed, and supports CPU air coolers up to 170mm in height. Motherboard compatibility includes ATX, micro-ATX and mini-ITX form factors, while support for ATX power supplies up to 255mm in length, or 155mm when two HDD trays are installed, ensures broad PSU compatibility for high-power builds.

Front Connectivity and Storage Support

The North Momentum Edition case provides modern and accessible front connectivity through two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, and separate headphone and microphone jacks. Storage installation is supported through two dedicated 2.5-inch drive bays and two combination 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive bays, enabling flexible SSD and HDD configurations within the main chamber.

Refined Black Design Expression

The North Momentum Edition case presents a distinctive fully black interpretation of the North design, combining a blackened oak front panel with dark alloy detailing across the exterior. The open front structure integrates seamlessly with the material finish, while a tempered glass side window allows internal components to remain visible without disrupting the minimal, furniture-inspired aesthetic. The steel chassis construction supports a solid, premium feel while complementing the clean visual identity of the enclosure.

Builder-Focused Interior and Accessibility

The North Momentum Edition case offers a streamlined internal layout designed to deliver a clean, focused build result. Tool-less access panels simplify installation and maintenance, while the slide-to-remove top panel with integrated tab allows fast access to cooling hardware and internal components. The chassis provides 30mm of cable management space, helping builders route cables neatly behind the motherboard tray to improve airflow and visual presentation.
