#fractaldesign #Noctua #asuspcdiy - You've seen the black Noctua air cooled North I built previously, now it's time to step things up a notch with the white North combined with the ROG Strix 4090 for the ultimate vibe! 00:00 - Intro / Build Hardware 01:09 - Prime X670-E Pro Assembly 03:12 - Fractal North Case Assembly 05:32 - ROG Strix 4090, how to fit 07:28 - Airflow Visualization & Temps 07:57 - Cinematic & Desk Setup Inspiration Having previously built a mid-range gaming PC with the black Fractal North for you guys to check out, I was excited to give the white version a go too with a different approach! This time I opted for liquid cooling and the brand new ROG Strix 4090 white edition. The aesthetic results are nothing short of breath-taking and I genuinely don't think even my video brings it enough justice! First of all, let's just address one thing... If you plan to fit the Strix 4090 or 4080 (they are both the same size), you will have to swap out the screws as shown in this video. The GPU does span the entire length of the chassis but isn't actually touching the front fan. With that said, airflow is still plentiful and as shown in the video temps are great too (within Ryzen 7900X tolerances! it's a hot CPU regardless) For this build I really wanted to drive that 'winter log cabin' vibe. The Noctua fans worked really well for this, bringing that brown/beige look from the front of the chassis across the rest of the case, whilst also delivering excellent cooling performance. The Deepcool LS520 CPU cooler has proven to be more than adequate keeping the Ryzen 7900X in check. Through my extensive testing I didn't get close to thermal throttling once. Max temp spike recorded was 85c and that's well below AMD's guidelines. For my final thoughts on the Fractal North Chassis, check out the paragraph below the following links Main parts included in the build: (USA Amazon) Case - Coming Soon GPU - CPU - Motherboard - RAM - NVME M.2 - CPU Cooler - 6x Fans - PSU - Extensions - PWM Fan Hub - Addition Fan Extensions - X= Monitor - Keyboard - Mouse - Mouse Pad - Lights used to film this video: Godox UL150ii - Godox UL60 - Main parts included in the build: (UK Amazon) Case - GPU - Strix 4090 White (coming soon) CPU - Motherboard - RAM - Coming soon to UK NVME M.2 - CPU Cooler - 6x Fans - PSU - Extensions - PWM Fan Hub - Addition Fan Extensions - X= Monitor - Keyboard - Mouse - Mouse Pad - Lights used to film this video: Godox UL150ii - Godox UL60 - To wrap this up, the Fractal Design North takes a traditional chassis design and adds a unique touch with the wooden intake fins on the front panel. This isn't restrictive for airflow which in turn allows the case to breathe, keeping hardware cool and optimal. I really love the ease of access to all areas of the case, the leather pull tab detail on the top panel is a nice touch, cable management space is fair given the case size and the overall build process was most pleasurable. Overall, I'm totally stoked and this case! This build may even find it's self as my new studio editing and gaming rig! HUGE thanks to Fractal Design for sending me the North white TG case for this build. You guys are awesome! Keep up the excellent innovation! Special thanks to ASUS ROG UK for supporting me with the Strix 4090 for this build.
