Fractal North XL Build (High Performance Gaming PC)

[@danielbjrnstad749]

Finally someone who actually knows how to show and tell people how to build. Dont even ahve to know anything about a computer to understand the way you presented everything. Good job

[@AG-hf7hk]

doing my very first pc build with this case and went here to look for build videos (with aio cooler particularly) this was very helpful, thank you. I'm still getting all my parts in line but I'm def going back to this video once I get all of them together.

[@Tatus_legarius]

I’ve got a North XL sitting on my desk empty waiting for me to buy parts. This might be just what i needed to get me motivated to finally build it

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

What parts are you thinking of using?

[@TheAndroGeek]

Finally a good video! Nice angles to show where all the connectors are supposed to go, nice explanations too. Overall nice & useful video, thanks man!

[@interstellarmongoose]

Deadly video man. You have become my fav builder on yt.

[@alejandroandrade5009]

Love the music you used for the video. I'm planning on buying this case, huge fan

[@loganwhite6173]

Finally!!! somebody using a build with my GPU

[@dlucas2331]

I'm about to assemble mine. Great video, very helpful. Great voice. You're very good at this, you should do those vids more often.

[@shortfilms2086]

NIcely done, Im in love with that case.

[@phoenics2465]

Amazing music style! Exactly the type of music i listen to

[@aninda._.]

I am from bangladesh I try to find such videos which can explain the whole pc building process in a detailed yet not boring way.. but i can't a lots of first person pov type of videos are out there but its difficult for people like me (who doesn't speak English so often) to understand their accent and when i try to turn on the caption i find myself missing out those plug-ins .. but your accent is so much clear and not boring too..💟

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

I'm glad you like the videos

[@colindsey]

Thank you for the video! I've got a nearly identical build planned if prices are good for prime day next week so this was super handy. Excellent quality build video, well done!

[@xBINARYGODx]

We need an XXL, whatever they want to call it - the 011D Evo XL is bigger than the 011D XL even though the EVO alone should not really cause that, they realized they still needed a bigger version is just made the EVO version bigger - the North XL needs something similar - the lack of support for two simultaneous 420's (with technically 480 at once in the top and/or front) would be awesome, and they did that twice already with the meshify 2 xl and that other case that is mostly the same that came before it.

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Here's to hoping for a XXL 🙏

[@HonestHans365]

Let’s call the XXXXXL Fractal Design North Fridge.

[@robertlucke4964]

Awesome build thanks for sharing love the detailed in the video and the commentary

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

You bet

[@pcgameshardware867]

I got the mesh panel variant of the XL and I love it

[@princje]

Nice details how to build, much appreciated.

[@MartinFransson]

What would you recommend for a silent build? No AIO for me, but the case has to be fairly silent. Today I use an older Fractal Design Define R5 that I really like.

[@tlv8555]

Nah, every case comes with this little guy who lives in the psu shroud that constantly sings the lyrics for gin & juice.

[@SunlightSomeDay]

NH-D15 or something with 140mm fans

[@clams377]

Nactua air cooler

[@ashbjorn]

I have the non-XL of this case, but with the mesh sides, since I do not particularly like the glass myself. I felt the lack of space for sure, but figured since I have minimal space available, the non-XL would look better on my desk. Having watched your video, I am starting to reconsider that choice :) Excellent work! #subbed

[@TreazerVF41]

Amazing build! Am also about to build my North XL build soon. May I ask, the first track in your video, whats the name? :) Thank you and keep going with this amazing work!

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Pseudo Machine - Charlie Ryan

[@PaulvicThrust]

Didn't want to wait for the 9800x3d either. I just jumped in on a Canada Computers 7800x3d + Gigabyte X670 + RAM combo deal. Had to go with the North XL case, which brought me here. Great video!

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

The 7800x3d is still going to be a beast for years.

[@Blue_Pumpkin]

❤ at this rate, this channel is gonna boom soon.

[@vkbeamng]

Wow great work ❤

[@sbaby-nv1dd]

I'm making a very similar build to this. I've ordered the 9800x3d but its performance in all the tests I've seen isn't that much better than the 7800x3d. The prices for the available 7800x3d was only £20 less though so I just went with the 9800x3d anyway.

[@WilliamHolmes420]

Dude 1.99k Subs! Lets GOOOOOO! Great job Bro. I have that exact same PSU. Same 7800x3d. My XFX RX 7900xt will be here tomorrow replacing A Asrock RX 6750 xt. Im using Gskill TridentZ5 RGB 6000 32GB ram. Love the build videos like always. Cant wait to see whats next!

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Thanks for the ongoing support man. Was going to do a 2500d build but I just ordered a sup01 to try out and deepcool is sending me their morpheus case and mystique aio to have in a video. Next couple of videos will be fun.

[@WilliamHolmes420]

@@Renegade_Rabryn That Mystique AIO is on my radar. When you do the video, please give an honest review of the cooler. I want to know your true thoughts on it. I want to go DC Mystique or the Arctic Liquid 3. My current cooler is the LT720 from Deepcool. No issues at all.

[@MartinFransson]

I didn't like that wood at first but damn that case looks nice!

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Same. it grows on you.

[@aridali]

Are the fractal fans just as loud on your case? I'm thinking about replacing mine for noctua ones or something because I find the fractal case fans can get really loud.

[@oswaldjh]

The case grill reminds me of the furniture that had our TVs and HI FI Stereos embedded into back in the last century. Those TVs were not portable at all weighing in over 100lb ( 45Kg )

[@MetalFPS]

This case has a weird airflow. No exhaust?

[@brad433]

The radiator fans exhaust upwards through the radiator.

[@jimme1982]

How is the noise level when doing simple office work and when gaming?

[@domo9293]

you said you made a mistake with plugging the pump cables. did you end up fixing it? how did you do it? i'm asking just because i'm planning to put and aio on top as well. thanks

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

I plugged the fans into the motherboard instead of the aio. Is that what you're referring to? I unplugged the fans fron the motherboard and plugged them into the aio

[@Aleksandar6ix]

I absolutely adore this case.....but I don't think it's big enough for me. I've got (now) 4 SATA drives to plug and power (was 5, but my new mobo only had four SATA ports!), an AIO, Corsair RGB fans and LianLi RGB fans. My P500A is jam packed. Cable management is stress inducing.

[@jonathanthomas4498]

You can put 3 120mm on top or 2 140mm? Is that correct?

[@400080vikkash]

Don't need to remove thermal pad on m.2 drive if it's a one sided drive. If it has stuff on both sides on m.2 then you need to peel bottom also.

[@bigsmoke1787]

Does the aio serve as an exhaust or intake in this build ?

[@HonestHans365]

The XFX is my favorite GPU design. Would you say that one downside of an XL case is the need for extension cables?

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Nah you don't need any. This case isn't really even an XL. It's still a midtower.

[@thatsmike1]

thanks alot this helped me build this case very easily. is it okay to not have an exhaust fan?

[@SahiPie]

Just finished my North XL build as well though I went with an all white build. 7800X3D and 4070TI Super with the same exact SSD.

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

What games you playin' with that Thang??

[@AniSepherd972]

no 9800x3d wont be blowing this 7800x3d yet, only 5-8% performance increase with higher tdp. This is still the king and I hope the price will be going down

[@BiggyJimm]

Didn't wait 5 months for the 9800x3D

[@joshualaird5303]

I bought that same case for my recent build and unfortunately Amazon delayed my delivery forcing me to buy a Corsair 4000D Airflow locally due to time contstraints... Had to send the North back :(

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

😔

[@phoenics2465]

Can you build in the FormD T1

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Can't find it anywhere

[@muddycontainer4241]

Amazing video, you can see the effort put into creating this vid but i noticed that you used ripjaws s5 instead of their x5 variant which offers amd expo but it should make that much of a difference. edit: no hate and please keeping on make these quality videos.

[@Renegade_Rabryn]

Appreciate it. Thx for checking out the video.

[@rhesty5235]

Nice build, I have a very similar once coming in the mail and I'll leave another comment when I get all the parts in for assembly. Fractal North XL, but my specs are a step lower than yours. 7900 XT, 7500f processor (7600 with no integrated graphics that you can get for $120, crazy good deal), air cooled with a cheaper motherboard. $1500 flat on pcpartpicker cause I got the samsung pro 990 2tb SSD (the GOAT), your exact memory if I'm not mistaken, and an 850W psu which is 300W overkill at least but I want headroom since the 7900XT is very easily overclockable for more performance.

[@JustinHEMI05]

The plastic is still on your PSU fan hub. Should be removed since the hub is where most heat is in a fan.

[@realpixelronin]

Good computer setup but really bad choice of taste for the GPU cables...

[@eQui253]

I really dislike the dragon on MSI products :) But I got u .. I feel the same with the AS Rock Taichi B650 E.. I absolutly don't need the features of the board, but I really LOVE the looks (It would be perfect for the north btw)

[@LoganWoodward-w5j]

Love the video

[@laggmonstret]

Sad it didn't have room for 420 rad in the top. You wouldn't so when it has XL in the name but no ;D

[@vladsta3833]

good

[@Natatoskr]

Wrong it's "From Ryzen"

[@Lfkxl]

Your detailed commentary while doing each parts is not good enough. You stayed silent throughout many parts of the build, and that’s not good for anyone who’s a complete noob looking for a guide

[@weberengraving3d]

thats how you dont install a cpu cooler

[@marklangley7135]

Can you expand?

[@iishadoww5483]

Nope that’s one of the best ways to attach an aio cooler. Watch gamer nexus or jaytwocents to learn about their placements

[@ItsRope]

You install it on the mobo first, then you install the mobo and then the radiator

[@henry3397]

@@ItsRopemaybe for an air cooler. Doesn’t make sense to install the pump outside the case, then fit the Mobo inside with the tubes in the way. The only reason you install the air cooler outside the case anyways is for accessibility

[@ItsRope]

@@henry3397 well it does because you don’t want to put strain on the motherboard. But agree to disagree then

[@jettsom]

I got tears! 🥲
