Fractal Design Ridge White - PCIe 4.0 Riser Card Included - 2X 140mm PWM Aspect Fans Included - Type C USB - m-ITX PC Gaming Case

The 2 140mm fans that come with it are standard in every way, but the mesh turbulence makes them too loud to be practical. I was able to fit 5 80mm fans with zip ties and a little give on the location.Zip ties are an absolute must with this case. Wiring perfection is essential as the main air input is coming from the GPU section. Modding more air in on the CPU side is extremely difficult, but possible.Good case. Easy build if you're not overclocking. Good thermals require some planning.

I purchased this case for a SFF console sized build and I found it to be very well constructed, with plenty of room for routing cables.I originally planned on only slotting in a 1660 Super for a GPU but decided to move up to an MSI Gaming X Trio 6950xt since there was plenty of room. The 6950xt was slightly longer than the case says it allows for but it still fits. I did have to remove one of the ball stud clips for the side panel so that the gpu would sit flat but it still fits fine with it installed. (This was a personal preference not a requirement.) The case still closes and does not have a gap from removing it. I did horizontally mount this case on the provided stand. When it is horizontally mounted the CPU faces down and can get a little hot. The 2 140mm fans that come with the case will fit but are pushed almost directly up against the larger GPU being that it is 2.5 slots. I went with a set of artic slim 140 fans instead and that was able to help lower temperatures for the CPU and GPU.System temps are within reasonable ranges when running stress tests and much lower when actually gaming.I observed the following Temps while running cinebench r23 and the amd built in stress test simultaneously for 10 minutes.CPU 12100f with a Noctua NH-L9x65 cooler.80C peak tempGPU 6950xt75C Hotspot

This case is great! It's a huge breath of fresh air from mid and full size towers - I'm new to the sffpc scene and I believe this case is perfect for my needs! This is especially true for folks who are going to be traveling often

This was a great case to build in, very pleased with the results. My only complaint is the backside behind the motherboard is super tight on space so if you have excess or extra cables you want to hide for aesthetic purposes, it's super tight space to do so. For the same reasons, if you have a backside mounting m.2 slot on the motherboard, your only option for adding a heatsink is the bottom of the barrel "rubber banded on" heatseats because they are the only ones thin enough.Great design by fractal otherwise. This case is super compact while supporting high end hardware.

I built a media/streaming PC with this, not a gaming PC, but it looks great in my living room and was easy enough to build in.
