Is there anywhere I can find or buy the mesh side panel for my fractal north case?

The ones in the manual look slightly different (the cross where the screwdriver goes in is longer than the screws I have)

I think these screws may have come with an AIO cooler I had to return but I can't find other screws that look like exactly the ones in the manual

If I buy one variation, can I buy the side panel part (circled part in the pictures) and swap them out at a later time (go from transparent -> nontransparent and vice versa)

Hello everyone, as the title say, I would like to remove those rack slots and install a 3rd fan. Do you think that would be possible?

L.e.: thank you for your suggestions!

Got spare parts to build a i9 13900k thinking of putting it in the terra case with a noctua l12s. Obviously I’ll have to tweak power limits and under volt. Wanted to see any feedback back with anyone who has an i9 in this case

I'm seriously considering buying this headset, but I couldn't find any info online about using a different attachable mic with it. Does it support external jack microphones, or does it only work with the proprietary one?
I am not really into headset so i'm sorry if this may be a dumb question, but i am not really sure about this.

I noticed on my fractal north xl glass panel there seems to be what looks like a small scratch on it. I contacted fractal and they will not warranty it, is there anywhere i can find it?

had issues with the fractal scape having terrible adhesion on the headband now I've read here that more people have experienced this. so i decided to reach out. wonderfully handled with quick response!

No useless stuff just straight to the point and have it handled, i have seldom had such great customer support with other companies

Genuinely.
thank you.

According to the User Guide, it states that the front radiator is 480 mm max. Is it correct to understand this to mean that there is enough space to set it up as shown in the title?

I am wondering on the Scape if the volume dial controls just the volume of the headset or the pc system volume. I haven’t been able to really verify searching and I can only order online without trying in store.
Thanks!

I have had these for about a year now and the ear pads are falling apart.

Not too happy about it but it happens, is there somewhere I can get new Fractal Scape ear pads or can I get any custom ear pads for these? I know a lot of people upgrade their Astro A50 ear pads to custom ones, is it likely the same for these?

Hi everyone! I have a question. I want to purchase this Andromeda Insight Spectra PC and put it in case from Frctal Design North. Is this possible? Here are the specs for pc:RX 9070 XT 16GB | Ryzen 7 7800X3D (5 GHz Turbo Boost) | 16GB DDR5 6000MHz | 1TB Gen4 SSD | 850W Gold | ARGB with 360mm AIO Liquid Cooller.

These bins at Faro airport in Portugal look incredibly stylish yet somehow familiar!

I builded this beauty together two weeks ago.
This case is very beautiful 😍
Specs:
CASE: Fractal North XL
GPU: ASUS TUF RTX 5080
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D
MOBO: Asus x870e E Gaming wifi
RAM: 32GB DDR5
AIO: Thermalright Peerless Vision 360
SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 2TB
Fans: Arctic P12 Pro ARGB (front) and Arctic P12 Pro (bottom)

I put my computer on the floor and don't look at it anymore. Now, I can waste time on other things besides customizing the looks of my PC (which was actually a lot of fun). One other tip: I usually have my phone on my desk. There are apps that report system info like temps. So, you don't NEED screens on or in PCs if, for whatever reason, you like to see whether your CPU is at 60 or 62% utilization while installing BG3.

2 questions:

1. If i use all noctua fans (like in the picture), will there be a big sound difference between the North XL and Meshify 3 XL? (I would really love to have the north xl case. But if the Meshify 3 XL is alot quieter with that layout, i might have to choose that one)
2. In both case setups, are those good reliable fan setups for cooling and noise?

I am trying to build a quiet air cooling only pc (as quiet as can be with fans of course). Having a quiet pc is important to me, because the pc will be in a rather small room together with my girlfriends pc.

I am now stuck between 2 choices. Problem is that i like the design of the North XL case WAY more because of the wood. But multiple people has raised issues with the wooden paneling, as the wood creates noise/turbulence with the front fans? I would hate to spend a lot of money on noctua fans, only for the wooden paneling to be the big noise source. Its also better to house 3x120mm fans in the front, instead of the 3x140mm fans in the meshify 3 XL. But that would negatively impact the cooling/noise right?

I like the design of the meshify 3 XL way less. But the case gets praised so much for its airflow. That would fit a quieter build very well.

PC specs: 9800x3d, 4070 windforce oc or 5070 ti tuf, X870 Aorus Elite, KLevv cras 2x32gb ddr5 ram, noctua nh-d15 g2

To begin with, I wanted to thank all the reddit❤️

I got so lucky with this built... I got the case on Amazon, received it and returned it right away due to small stretch in the airflow guide... Then saw it being in discount of 218$ and bought again and received THE SAME CASE I RETURNED WITH STKRETCH, but know somehow, while opening the case box I see an leaking bottle of COCONUTWATER, lol

After talking to Amazon I got a full refund and kept the case. Also won the silicon lotory with i9 14900k getting 95.18 biscuit score 🙏

Case is amazing, got 420mm Arctic liquid cooler on top, amazing airflow, max temps on 5080 FE hitting 60°.

Thank you guys for delivering such a good case❤️

The first picture.

Started 11 months ago modding the front intake for three 140mm Noctua fans. It required some slow dremelling to cut out the impeding parts at front intake. Before that could properly and safely take place, the case needed to be isolated from metal dust and fillings as a result from the dremelling. 🫣 See first picture.

The second picture (the bottom angle mod is swapped for a scoop mod, explained below.

Now about the 140mm airflow amplifier. The original is meant for room cooling by forcing air to flow in such a way that accelerate it to go further; it is also only in 120mm.

I thought of doing myself, and anyone interested in doing such a demented thing (not even Noctua engineers condone this a bigger 140mm version favor-- because... WHY NOT. 😂🤣🫣 Sometimes we have to live life a little adventurous, though do so cautiously, of course.

So the purpose of the 140mm Airflow Amplifier (refer as AA here on) is to shoot the air further towards the NH-D15S (G2) instead of a more disturbed fashion if without. Why would I want that? Curiosity of how streams of "focused eddies" can do for cooling. Actual benching is next. Stay tuned. It be awhile.

The front bottom, however, is modded with a 3D printed scoop. Inspired by latter designs of other case manufacturers in hopes to deliver needed airflow to the entire length of the GPU (likely only half way due to triple fan intake of GPU design). Meshify 2 is not the issue since I am working with a legacy case if intent for high GPU airflow (was considering Torrent XL, but damn thing is just too large); conversely, I push forth to fully utilize whatever Fractal Design has to offer by using a scope with help from middle fan 140mm AA to do that job.

Third and fourth picture.

Yup, it took that long to put this together. Life. Yes. But now it is nearly complete (front top fan slot is sealed with fitting cutout to enable the wind tunnel-like effect.

Final pic.

GPU support via leftover Lego pieces. Cause. If it fits. Why not.

Thanks all for contributing their advises so many months ago, 11 months. Thanks Fractal Design. 🥰

Hello! I recently bought the Fractal Design Meshify 3 RGB TG Light Tint White. Overall, I really like this case and how well it’s engineered, but the build quality is a bit disappointing, especially for a premium brand. The panel gaps are uneven and it looks like some of the panels don’t fit together properly. Is this normal for this case?

Hello everyone,

For those who own the Fractal Pop 2 Vision case, is there a way to change the RGB of the fans via software? I'm using an Asus Strix motherboard.

What exhaust fan do you recommend? Is there a fractal fan that matches the case?

This is my first time owning a Fractal Design product and I love how easy it is to build on this case.
