Compatibility Requirement

This full-tower case accepts ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards that use the back-connect layout only. Standard ATX boards with front-facing connectors will not fit. The chassis supports graphics cards up to 413 mm long and CPU coolers up to 169 mm tall.

Pre-Install Checklist

Verify that your motherboard uses the reverse-connector design before ordering. Confirm the graphics card length against the 413 mm limit, or 380 mm if a 420 mm front radiator is planned. Ensure the CPU cooler height stays within 169 mm and that the power supply is a standard ATX unit for bottom mounting.

Included Cooling Advantage

Three 140 mm Aspect PWM fans come pre-installed at the front, providing immediate airflow without extra purchases. The front panel supports radiators up to 420 mm and the top up to 360 mm for custom liquid-cooling loops. Removable side, front and top panels simplify installation and cable routing.

Questions about this item

Does the Chalk White North XL RC ship with fans or a power supply, and what must I add?

Three 140 mm Aspect PWM fans are pre-installed at the front. No power supply is included; you must buy an ATX unit separately.

Should I pick the standard ATX version or the back-connect model for this case?

This chassis only supports ATX and Micro ATX boards with back-connect layouts; standard ATX motherboards will not fit.

What does the 413 mm GPU clearance mean when I install a front radiator?

With a 420 mm front radiator fitted, maximum graphics-card length drops to 380 mm; without a front radiator you can use cards up to 413 mm.
