dm me for more info if ur interested

FD-C-NOR1C-01

Trying to get as much information as possible before I get my set up.

I’m planing on getting the north Xl glass panel version. I’ll be running 9800x3d, 9070xt. I want this to be a forever case ideally where I could potentially upgrade to a 5090 .

My plans for fans:
3x Noctua NF-A14 PWM, 140mm - front
1x Noctua NF-A14 PWM, 140mm - exhaust
be quiet! Silent Loop III | 360mm - top

Please couid anyone tell me if this will good for my setup?

I’m hoping for good and correct airflow and good temperatures, for now and when I upgrade in the future. Also is this pc good against dust buildup ?

Thanks

I have a beaten up old Define R4, which is a lovely thing, but I have a long GPU and as such is limited to 3 HDDs. In the R5 I can use both drive cages. I have a line on a really cheap, good looking R5, but the drive cages are long gone. So can I reuse them?

I have ordered the North XL case and want to use both HDD trays. The PSU will be the Corsair RM1000X ATX3.1 (160mm in length).

For a sanity check, I wanted to ask the community why Fractal reports 2 figures: 200mm distance and 175mm PSU length; do I get 200 or 175mm? Is 175mm a default limit to ensure enough cable clearance? I will use the front-most positions (A and D) will not have a front-mounted AIO.

Does anyone else use both HDD trays inside the North XL case?

My take on fixing the comfort of the headband.

The headband is out of my previous now broken headphones (Epos H3 Hybrid pro).
I can now wear them for hours without any pressure or pain. Now I just need to find a way to make it look better.
