Question 1

Can I replace the fans that come with this case?

Accepted Answer

The case comes with two Aspect 140 mm PWM fans, and the fan options include mounts for 6 x 120 mm or 4 x 140 mm fans, so you can replace the included fans with other compatible ones.

Question 2

Will a 13x18" mainboard fit inside with space to spare?

Accepted Answer

It's sized for a normal ATX motherboard (12 x 9.6), you may be able to get an EATX in it but it would cover all the cable slots.. I don't see any possible way to fit a 13x18 motherboard in it.

Question 3

How is the thermal performance of the CASE FRACTAL DESIGN|FD-C-NOR1C-02 R?

Accepted Answer

I have my airflow set up pretty nice and am able to keep it at around 60C at high settings when gaming. I would say pretty decent!

Question 4

Will this fit top-mount? - MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 360 Black - AIO ARGB Liquid Cooling - 360mm Radiator - Triple 120mm ARGB PWM Fans - EZ Connect

Accepted Answer

It won't fit a 360mm radiator on top - it will only fit a 280mm on the top. A 360 can fit on the front, though.

Question 5

Can this case fit a GPU measuring 312mm (long) x 141mm x 61mm?

Accepted Answer

Yes but not with a radiator in the front.

Question 6

Can this case hold a gpu measuring 312mm (long)  x 141mm x 61mm?

Accepted Answer

If you don't put a rad in the front just fans I was able to get a rx7900xtx in there which is about 330mm

Question 7

I want to top-mount my 240mm radiator, my only concern is that my ram (corsair vengeance rgb) have an apparent height of 49mm. From the product details it seems the max compatible height is 35mm? Is it a tight fit? Does anyone else have a similar configuration/experience?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the maximum compatible RAM height for top-mounted radiators is 35 mm. Since your RAM has a height of 49 mm, it may not fit well. Users have mentioned space limitations in the product reviews, so this configuration might be challenging.

Question 8

Will it fit I msi liquid cooled GPU RTX 4090 (which I think has 240mm radiator and is smaller than other 4090s) and a 360mm aio cooler(for my cpu) in this case?
