Fractal Design North - Full Build!

[@derolli1940]

Such a nice Case and you put a Disco inside.

[@davidrv2098]

Thank you for showing cable management, many channels tend to ignore that part while it's extremely obscure and hard for beginner like me. Thank you and good one! I'm hoping to start my build with this case this weekend

[@tekk9995]

Yeah. I was thinking about putting the Lian Li controller box next to the PSU. But the position you are showing is way better. Thanks!

[@shankhachoudhuri2146]

Adding rgb in this case is a crime..

[@Patryk2a]

What's the point of getting a minimalistic case just to stuff it with RGB?

[@FLAMEalan]

Because during the day when it’s off it looks minimalistic and casual but when it’s at night that’s when the PC goes demon time

[@BigDavos]

I was thinking the same thing, I currently have a lancool 3 stuffed with rgb, Just bought the Fractal north to go minimalistic and get rid of the rgb as Im getting older I want less.

[@DieDaDei]

I have also a rgb north and it's incredible ❤ But i have to admin that my rbg is white only

[@g1g3l]

Static white lighting would look decent in the north. Just making the inside components pop a bit. Rainbow looks awful in the north Also, the north is far from being minimalistic. I'd call stuff like what NZXT has minimalistic, or define series cases, but not the north

[@Patryk2a]

​@@g1g3l it has an other variant where the glass pannel is replaced with full metal mesh to allow the case to breathe. In this variant I dont think it would stand out in e.g an office besides looking a bit more premium.

[@CyantoYT]

TYSM. This helped a lot with my build!

[@MM-ho7kb]

So you are pulling hot air from the radiator into the case?

[@kenneth_jensen]

Great build. Be aware the most correct way to install a 360 AIO is with the tubes at the bottom and not top, as the radiator has a higher point than the CPU. Installed like you have it now will over time make some boble sound. Sine will say but if there is air in the pump part at the CPU it will not get out. That is not true, the pump will move the air to the radiator and it will be trapped at the top of it 👍🙂

[@400080vikkash]

Does not make a difference. Stop watching bits and pieces of Steve's videos and watch the whole thing.

[@F...........................]

I prefer to install 140mm at the front so that more cool air comes in, AIO installed in push pull at the top and also a 140mm fan at the back. Since I have a 4090, it's more important to me to get a lot of fresh air because the CPU isn't put under much strain when I play at 4k anyway. When I play I never get above 50 degrees and I use maximum settings every time I play.

[@ethaneaves_04]

Is that orientation for the aio fine ?

[@HiramTuaPR]

No. The tubes must be at the bottom. Good catch.

[@cmk5498]

Question what is that part at 10:47? What does it do exactly?

[@jordantellier9874]

It’s a fan controller

[@Jonathan-mu5nx]

please how are the cpu temps with this aio placement?

[@Spoonuk666]

Wow, these sleeved PSU cables make absolutely no sense, a complete rats nest next to the PSU 😮

[@rene0h27]

In general i plan the same. Using a kraken elite. How long do you think is the maximum length of the graphics card??

[@novahdesign]

How much clearance do you have between the GPU and AIO? Planning a similar build (withou the push-pull setup) with a 4090.

[@nikglett]

hey this looks amazing. im gonna build a pc very similar to this however instead of the v1 fans im looking at buying the v2 lian li fans (which are around 3mm thicker?) looking at how your gpu fits in there, would a 4080 super fit with its length of 330mm? if not, could i remove the second 3 pack of fans on the inside to make some more room? any wisdom is appreciated :)

[@Silverlupa]

Just got mine love it

[@baloneyslice247]

Hey, this is a real long shot, but I don't know where else to turn for help on this. The reddit fractal forum or others were no help, I got no answers. Can you tell me if the video i posted in my profile is normal? it's like there's a gap where the bottom on the TG panel meets the access panel.

[@ShadySidesSongs]

What gif are you using on the LCD of that kraken? it looks so insane

[@Sergissetup]

Please tell us the name or where to find it

[@Subdubbin]

I will upload it to imgur and paste the link here!

[@Sergissetup]

@@Subdubbin OK! thank you

[@ShadySidesSongs]

@@Subdubbin Any update on that?

[@ShadySidesSongs]

@@Subdubbin Im still looking for this gif if you got it.

[@dananjithnadeeshan9429]

That's one of a kind man! Nailed it!! I'm planning to do a build with a Kraken 360 AIO in front, but with only a single layer of fans. I'm wondering if there would be enough room for an Asus Strix 3090 inside the case if I fit the 3 fans from the inside onto the radiator panel coming from the outside?

[@mrkontor]

im gonna copy this exact build! i love it😍

[@BoBxPaiN]

Is it necessary to go with 6 exhaust fans can i use just 2 fans 2x140mm

[@Subdubbin]

Start with the 2x 140mm fans and see what your temps are like. Then maybe get a 120mm exhaust if you need it.

[@SQUADDriven]

This is awesome!

[@duffel87]

i just wish that case was a little bit bigger

[@phosphorescentOW]

is that push/pull (6x fans in aio) worth it? like does it affect enough for the extra money put into it?

[@Subdubbin]

Definitely not worth it! Just wanted to show it could be done!

[@sidsiv87700]

Excellent build @subdubbin. I have a quick question. Was all the RGB lighting controlled via the motherboard software or L-connect?

[@Subdubbin]

Thx! I controlled the fans through Lian Li software. I used Open RGB for the GPU and RAM.

[@gustavgurke3389]

which cable sleeves are u using?

[@Subdubbin]

I'm using the AsiaHorse white cable extensions

[@FLAMEalan]

So excited to build my second PC in a few days. Already got all the parts (including this case) except the GPU. Didn’t realise you could fit three more fans at the front of the case so now I need to decide which one to buy to add to my 360mm kraken elite cooler 😂

[@Subdubbin]

Haha, the extra 3 fans are unnecessary. I only installed them to show that you can. Good luck with your build!

[@FLAMEalan]

⁠​⁠@@SubdubbinThanks! Build went well, just waiting for the 7800xt to release now 😂

[@rene0h27]

​@@Subdubbin but the idea was nice. Why do you think they are unnecessary?

[@FPSRockstar]

im building a similar build but using a 3090FE with 360 aio for cpu, but no fans on aio on the inside @@Subdubbin

[@EmanuelCorreia-pu2ng]

Hey bud! Great build! Question for you, the six fans in the front are intake fans right?

[@kanalniekohoznameho]

oh wait there is a PC case on this video ? :D

[@georgemichaelis1664]

subdubin killin it again

[@nico13d54]

Pourquoi lettre un water cooling sur la face avant ? Il expulse l’aire donc les seul ventirades qui aspirent l’air son ceux du plafond nan ? Donc ils aspirent la poussière

[@cmdrbillpaxton4302]

Why use white cable extensions when your power supply already has white cables.... Just more cable clutter that you have to stuff away.

[@heinzbongwasser2715]

nice build

[@etiennesdg]

watercooler radiator have to be mounted on top, so bubbles stay on top and don't go back to the pump, avoiding noises.

[@ginrickey6755]

dood, he goes harderr than that

[@GreatIntellect13]

RGB just ruins a nice case like this

[@insertnonrepetetivenameher8787]

spend less money on the motherboard and more on the cpu

[@brianpower6424]

just lose the music and talk. People are here to learn.

[@MrTogether2012]

the graphic card the does not match the horizon 16:03.use support

[@waterkoud1]

How to ruin a great looking stylish case. Just put in some some RGB rubbish.
