Excellent Design: Fractal North Case Review & Benchmarks
Sponsor: Arctic Liquid Freezer II ARGB on Amazon https://geni.us/8BokJ
Our review of the Fractal North looks at build quality, thermal performance, cable management, and features of the new Fractal case. The Fractal North follows-up Fractal's Pop Air, which we liked, and its Torrent, which we recommended as the best case when it launched. The company is most directly competing with Lian Li and its Lancool 216 right now, with other options primarily being the Corsair 4000D Airflow.
