Design and airflow

The Fractal Design Epoch is a black ATX mid-tower case built for high-airflow gaming builds. Its steel frame uses a mesh front panel and ventilated top to feed cool air directly to components. Three Momentum 12 fans are pre-installed at the front, moving air through the chassis without restriction. The clean interior layout supports ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards with room for long graphics cards and tall coolers.

Thermals and power

Natural airflow moves through the open front and top panels, keeping temperatures steady under load. The three included 120 mm Momentum fans use LCP blades and fluid-dynamic bearings to push air quietly at lower speeds. With the front fans mounted, graphics cards up to 372 mm fit comfortably; adding a front radiator reduces that limit to 345 mm. A 240 mm top radiator or 360 mm front radiator can be installed for liquid cooling, while CPU air coolers up to 170 mm clear the side panel.

Access and storage

Tool-free removal of the side, front and top panels gives quick access to the interior during assembly or upgrades. The front panel pulls off and the top panel slides away using a fabric tab. Inside, three 3.5 inch drive bays and two 2.5 inch bays handle bulk storage and SSDs. Seven expansion slots support full-length add-in cards. Power supply length is limited to 255 mm with one hard-drive tray fitted or 155 mm with both trays in place.

Questions about this item

Will a 360 mm radiator fit in the front with the included fans?

Yes, the front supports up to a 360 mm radiator. If you install one, maximum GPU length drops to 345 mm. The three included 120 mm fans would need to be moved to other mounts.

What is the maximum power supply length when both 3.5" drive trays are installed?

With two 3.5" drive trays fitted, the power supply can be up to 155 mm long. Removing one tray allows a longer unit up to 255 mm.

How many 140 mm fans can I mount in total?

The case has mounts for four 140 mm fans: three at the front and two at the top, though only four can be used simultaneously across those positions.
