Ridge White Mini-ITX console case

The Ridge White is a compact console-type chassis built for Mini-ITX and Mini-DTX boards. It ships with a PCIe 4.0 riser card and two 140 mm Aspect PWM fans mounted on the side panel. The front panel is machined from 6 mm anodized aluminum and includes a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports and a combo audio jack.

Builders wanting dense GPU power in a living-room

This case suits builders who need up to 335 mm of graphics-card length and 82 mm of thickness in a 14.72 litre frame. The 70 mm CPU cooler limit and SFX/SFX-L power-supply requirement rule out large air towers and ATX units. Removing one side fan allows Mini-DTX boards, but reduces side airflow.

Thermals under sustained load

Two pre-installed 140 mm side fans push air directly across the graphics card, while three 80 mm top mounts can exhaust heat. A side 240 or 280 mm radiator fits only when no GPU is present; with a card installed the maximum radiator size drops to 120 mm. GPU height shrinks from 137 mm to 125 mm if top fans are used, and thickness falls to 57 mm when side fans overlap the card.

Questions about this item

Will a triple-slot graphics card fit if I also install a 2.5" SSD?

With an SSD installed the maximum GPU thickness drops to 57 mm, so a triple-slot card will only fit if it stays within that limit.

What power supply do I need and where does it mount?

The case accepts SFX or SFX-L units up to 130 mm long, mounted at the bottom.

Can I use a 240 mm radiator while keeping a full-length graphics card?

A 240 mm or 280 mm radiator is only supported when no GPU is installed; with a GPU up to 175 mm you are limited to a 120 mm radiator.
