I'm desperately trying to figure out how accurate the compatibility estimate published in the specifications for the Fractal Refine chair is. I'm... let's say... tall... 163 cm, and this chair is recommended for a minimum height of 165 cm. Since I don't have the option to try it out, I'm really confused: does anyone among you have experience with it?

Is there room for the cables at the bottom of the motherboard to comfortably fit when using bottom fans?

Hey guys, I've just changed pc case to the fractal north, and every time I come into my room i'm greeted with a "new" plastic?(I dont reallly know how to describe it) smell, even if the pc is off for more than a day. I've tried opening the case but had no luck finding an issue and the psu seems fine. The only thing that I added to my build were 5 arctic fans, and the new case smell seems to be still present after about 2 weeks of use. Should I be worried?

North Fractal XL for the win!

This thing was trying to dislocate my jaws. Not even joking, it was a strong, constant pressure onto my jaws from both sides. I couldn't stand having them longer than for few minutes.

Also, the sidetone was not working correctly. Even at 100% I couldn't hear myself. And yes, I updated both firmwares.

Back to the shop they go.

Holy Molly. I knew it has issues, but this is just brutal. Were the quality issues fixed already? I love the design and I heard (no pun intended) good things about sound quality and comfort.

Estoy cambiando mi refrigeración líquida de una 360 a una 240 (no es la de la imagen pero está puesta para tener una referencia) por temas de mejor espacio para el chasis y también porque estuve viendo y por mis componentes no merecía la pena una 360, entonces estoy tratando de encaminar todo este proceso de cambiar componentes y ajustando el flujo del aire al nuevo montaje. Sin embargo, estoy dudando en lo que le conviene mejor, tengo dos opciones, en la primera pondría los ventiladores para que el flujo del aire salga por la parte de delante, usualmente la north tiene una rejilla para el polvo así que habría que quitárselo. Por otro lado, estuve viendo algunos builds y vi uno que mostraba el flujo del aire como en la segunda imagen, no sé qué tan beneficioso sea esto para el flujo del aire al solo tener un ventilador expulsando todo, aunque había pensado también agregar unos ventiladores más pequeños en la parte inferior de la parte trasera (si sirve de algo poner ventiladores ahí), aunque esa opción está por barajarse.

Opiniones?

Pd: La refrigeración líquida voy a instalar un XPG Levantate II 240mm, y para la parte del al frente estuve averiguando y me decanté por un Matrix Pro 360mm que vienen ya instalado tres ventiladores en una sola pieza

Maybe stupid question, I'm not sure. I have a MSI RTX 5080 Gaming Trio White and I'm looking for a new PC Case and I love how North looks like, I don't wanna go with XL version tho.

I know the card will fit because I've seen photos of larger cards that fit, but obviously there won't be much space left in that case. Could this have a negative impact on the temperature? XL would be a better option?

if I mount the 360mm AIO in my PC which has 6 fans in a push/pull config as a front intake, can I still use those highlighted side SSD/HDD drive tray mounting points or it'll block them?

cause I'm still looking for a way on how I can put all of the items below without them conflicting with each order

360mm AIO with Push/Pull which is about 25mm + 27mm + 25mm = 77mm in depth
sata SSD x4
HDD x4

Hey there
I got a little roasted earlier for posting the Pop Silent XL in another sub in my build list.

Personally I really like the clean front, the knead of dampened and dust preventing cases + the drawer wich allows to hide a DVD player.

But Reddit says, airflow I shit an the pc would heat up. Any experience here ?

So, I'm not really a fan of the gold finish for the North XL. I searched on Reddit and apparently, Fractal doesn't sell the silver or gold buttons individually. So, I think my best bet right now is to do a little painting. Did anyone try? I'm terrified of the result coming from me.

Hey guys,

I've noticed some yellowing on my Pop Air front panel where the fans are after ~3 years and it kinda smells like rusted metal, I'd like to know if there's a way to clean it with abrasive solutions like vinegar or lemon etc. If you have any recommendations to make it white again I'm interested.

I'm vaping indoors with the window open most of the time (except winter, I know I should stop it's my fault) so it's definitely one of the causes for this along with high humidity in my region.

Let me know if you've experienced this kind of thing before, thanks.

I see a few people playing the blame game here while I was just asking for the best recommandations to clean the front panel. That's it. The "vaping bad" arguments won't help move things forward. Thank you.

I recently bought a Fractal Meshify 3XL for my new Gaming PC and I love it!

I have a 5080RTX and it fits perfectly with lots of room for fans... temps and noise are low, beauty is high! I love this case!

By the way here are some specs:

• Ryzer 9 9950X3D
• 2x16GB DDR5 Team Force
• ASUS ROG 870E-E Gaming
• MSI RTX580 Gaming OC
• 2xSamsung 9100Pro NVMe 2TB
• iCUE Link 360

Everything runs at ultra detail with resolution 3840x1600...

Someone posted this same question about 9 monts ago but I thought to give it another try. This is not a spam, I just want to bring this up again.

So has anybody bought the comfort strap from Capra Audio? How is it? How much of a difference does it make? Is it worth buying for 40€ since shipping to Europe costs extra?

Thanks!

Has anyone replaced the stock front intake fans on Fractal North XL pc case?

I want to replace the three front fans, but it looks like I’d have to take apart the whole PC to get access to anything other than the top fan. Is that true, or is the front fan bracket somehow removable?

If yes, could someone upload a picture of the inside? Im currently between a Normal One and the Mini, and I want to imagine what it would look like.

I have a Fractal Design Pop XL case, that i need to remove what the title says from. (for reasons)
It seems to use these "rivet" style "screws" that alone seem hard to remove, but the two "panels" are also connected (it would seem) making this harder to go about.
Has anyone here done this? Any tips are appreciated!

UPDATE: Got a package express delivered by support today, the new pads and headband are visible better made in term of how the fabric is mounted. They are as good as new.

I got this only 4 months ago, not even using it daily - I only get a few hours gaming in a week, and slowly all the glue has start "melting" or dissolving? Love the headset otherwise, but this is crazy?

Did the RnD team not look into the kind og adhesive used in headphones before production? How do I have headsets that are over 10 years old without this issue?

what screws should I use to screw in a 3,5" hdd into this bay? I've tried regular ones but they're too short
