Hang out and watch this build in the Fractal North featuring a 12900K and a White Strix GPU!
Please comment with your questions and I will answer them.
This case is beautiful AND easy to build in. There could be a couple more cable management holes/passthroughs though. I know the 2080 Super is a bit outdated at this point, and it is underpowered compared to the 12900K, but it fit perfectly into the case and looked great so I went with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Overall I would recommend this case for anyone who wants a very good-looking case with great airflow. Fractal Design is on a roll lately! My next video will feature the Fractal Terra small form factor ITX case!

Such a nice Case and you put a Disco inside.
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
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!
This is awesome!
Just got mine love it
In general i plan the same. Using a kraken elite. How long do you think is the maximum length of the graphics card??
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 😂
Haha, the extra 3 fans are unnecessary. I only installed them to show that you can. Good luck with your build!
@@SubdubbinThanks! Build went well, just waiting for the 7800xt to release now 😂
@@Subdubbin but the idea was nice. Why do you think they are unnecessary?
im building a similar build but using a 3090FE with 360 aio for cpu, but no fans on aio on the inside @@Subdubbin
Fire
subdubin killin it again
nice build
Excellent build @subdubbin. I have a quick question. Was all the RGB lighting controlled via the motherboard software or L-connect?
Thx! I controlled the fans through Lian Li software. I used Open RGB for the GPU and RAM.
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 👍🙂
So you are pulling hot air from the radiator into the case?
Wow, these sleeved PSU cables make absolutely no sense, a complete rats nest next to the PSU 😮
please how are the cpu temps with this aio placement?
Is it necessary to go with 6 exhaust fans can i use just 2 fans 2x140mm
Start with the 2x 140mm fans and see what your temps are like. Then maybe get a 120mm exhaust if you need it.
Its not 6 exhaust fans, its 3 intakes and 3 exhausts.
is that push/pull (6x fans in aio) worth it? like does it affect enough for the extra money put into it?
Definitely not worth it! Just wanted to show it could be done!
What gif are you using on the LCD of that kraken? it looks so insane
Please tell us the name or where to find it
I will upload it to imgur and paste the link here!
@@Subdubbin OK! thank you
@@Subdubbin Any update on that?
@@Subdubbin Im still looking for this gif if you got it.
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.
i just wish that case was a little bit bigger
Question what is that part at 10:47? What does it do exactly?
It’s a fan controller
which cable sleeves are u using?
I'm using the AsiaHorse white cable extensions
hard
dood, he goes harderr than that
oh wait there is a PC case on this video ? :D
What's the point of getting a minimalistic case just to stuff it with RGB?
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
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.
I have also a rgb north and it's incredible ❤ But i have to admin that my rbg is white only
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
@@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.
Why use white cable extensions when your power supply already has white cables.... Just more cable clutter that you have to stuff away.
12 gen i9 and 2080 is a pretty big mismatch. An i3 would have been plenty for that old GPU. Unless you are going to upgrade to a 3090 / 4080 / 4090 soon.
RGB just ruins a nice case like this
spend less money on the motherboard and more on the cpu
the graphic card the does not match the horizon 16:03.use support
How to ruin a great looking stylish case. Just put in some some RGB rubbish.
