Compact console SFF case

The Fractal Design Ridge FD-C-RID1N-11 is a Mini-ITX chassis built for small-form-factor builds that need full GPU length in a console footprint. Steel construction with a 6 mm anodized aluminium front panel houses SFX or SFX-L power supplies at the bottom. Two 140 mm Aspect PWM fans come pre-installed on the side bracket.

PCIe 4.0 riser and GPU clearance upgrade

A PCIe 4.0 riser card routes the graphics card horizontally, allowing up to 335 mm length when no 2.5 inch drive is fitted, or 325 mm with one installed. GPU height reaches 137 mm without top fans and 125 mm with them; thickness is 82 mm clear, dropping to 57 mm when side fans overlap the card. The 70 mm CPU cooler limit and three expansion slots complete the platform swap from larger tower cases.

Sustained thermal behaviour

Under continuous load the dual 140 mm side intake feeds the GPU directly while three 80 mm top mounts exhaust heat, and a side 240 or 280 mm radiator can replace the fans when no graphics card is present. With a GPU installed only a 120 mm side radiator fits up to 175 mm card length. The layout keeps component temperatures stable during extended sessions without relying on short burst performance.

Questions about this item

How much room does the 140 mm side fans leave for a CPU cooler?

The case allows a maximum CPU cooler height of 70 mm with the pre-installed 140 mm Aspect fans in place.

What is the correct order for fitting the PCIe 4.0 riser and the graphics card?

Mount the riser to the motherboard first, then insert the graphics card into the riser slot; installing the card before the riser blocks access to the motherboard screws.

Which dust filters need regular cleaning and how are they removed?

Magnetic filters on the side panels and the top panel lift off without tools for cleaning.
