Fractal Design North Momentum Edition Blackened Oak TG ATX PC Case with Three Momentum 12 Fans (FD-C-NOR1C-05)

Blackened Oak Styling and Three Momentum Fans for a Refined Desktop

The Fractal Design North Momentum Edition combines a blackened oak front, dark alloy accents and a tempered-glass side for a coherent all-black desktop enclosure. Three Momentum 12 front fans provide the starting airflow arrangement for your separately selected ATX, Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX system.

The open front and mesh top balance the wood-front aesthetic with practical ventilation. Plan the complete graphics-card, radiator, CPU cooler and cable arrangement before purchase: GPU allowance is up to 355mm, or up to 300mm with a front radiator. This is the standard-size North Momentum Edition, not North XL, and no complete-PC hardware package is included.

Best For: All-black desktop builds, Blackened oak setups, ATX gaming PCs, Glass-side presentation, Planned liquid cooling, Refined workstations

DETAIL SPECIFICATION

TECHNICAL FEATURES

A distinct Momentum Edition finish

The blackened oak front and dark alloy accents distinguish this exact edition from the earlier walnut or chalk-white North models. It is not a substitute for North XL or a reverse-connector-specific case.

Three Momentum 12 front fans

The included fans use LCP blades and fluid dynamic bearings. Plan additional cooling and fan behaviour around actual component heat output and room conditions; no temperature or noise guarantee is implied.

Measure graphics and cooling as one layout

A front radiator reduces the listed GPU allowance to 300mm. Check radiator/fan thickness, tubing, plugs, drive positions and cable bends before assuming the maximum sizes can coexist.

Practical access and connections

Removable panels, dust filters and cable-routing features help with assembly and maintenance. The listed USB port speeds also require compatible motherboard headers.
