We'll put it through our testing later to see how it does but spoiler: Unless silence is your primary concern, there's a lot to love about this striking chassis.

To be fair all the versions of this case are quite pleasant to look at, and the fact that they are decent cases as well makes it all the better. Though it’s also available with a tempered-glass panel similar to its competitors, the version of the North we’re testing has a mesh left side that leaks noise just as easily as air.Since the fan hub has no power source other than the motherboard’s fan header, builders should consider the output rating of their fan header before connecting everything through the hub. Power-supply length may be limited to as little as 165mm or extended up to 280mm depending on the number of trays installed and their placement. Previous trend-setters have included brushed-aluminum finishes and tempered-glass side panels, so will other companies copy the design theme? But the parts I received were perfect and delivered very well in great packaging and it wasn't too expensive.

Two Aspect 14 PWM fans preinstalled with room to expand up to a total of four 140 mm or six 120 mm fans. And, finally, the rear fan mount can fit a 120mm spinner, although the case only comes with the two fans up front. North reimagines the gaming PC, introducing natural materials and bespokedetails to make gaming a stylish addition to the living space. Because some of our devices round to the nearest whole number before that data is charted, it’s possible for two identical results to be shown as one degree apart due to rounding issues. The cooler’s dual 120mm fans make it ideal for top-panel placement in most cases, which allows it to provide airflow around our motherboard’s CPU voltage regulator, while the Dagger Pro’s combination of SFX housing, a PS2 adapter plate, and mid-length power cables allow it to fit both compact and full-size cases.Wooden accents are far from new to the PC industry, yet they’re so rarely used that their appearance almost seems novel.

Speaking of themes, the North is available in white with silver and oak trim in addition to the black with gold and walnut trim shown. Equipped with multiple fan mounting points, including front, top, and rear, you can customise your cooling setup to achieve optimal performance for even the most demanding tasks. The North is an ATX mid-tower chassis that features wood slats on the front panel (backed by mesh) and the option for a mesh or tempered-glass side panel. And it can be mounted in three different locations (bottom, middle, or top) to best suit the needs of your build.

In the summer, we saw the Pop Silent, which was refreshing, as the case market has become saturated with mesh and RGB.
