Fractal Design Epoch XL Tower Black ATX Case

Fractal Design Epoch XL Tower Black | Spacious ATX Tower with High-Airflow Design

The Fractal Design Epoch XL Tower Black is a spacious ATX case designed for builders who prioritise cooling and component compatibility. It suits UK enthusiasts building high-performance gaming or workstation PCs. This model includes three Momentum 14 fans and supports reverse-connector motherboards for a clean, modern build.

Engineered for High-End Cooling

This case includes three 140 mm Momentum fans with LCP blades and FDB bearings. Because the front and top panels are ventilated, natural airflow is strong and consistent. In practice, this helps maintain lower temperatures during intensive tasks. The mesh design also reduces dust buildup compared to solid panels.

Spacious Interior for Modern Components

The internal layout supports graphics cards up to 425 mm long with front fans installed. It also accommodates CPU coolers up to 176 mm tall. Because it supports ATX, micro ATX, ITX, and EATX motherboards, you have flexibility for various builds. However, the power supply is not included, so verify your PSU fits the basement compartment.

Optimised for Reverse-Connector Motherboards

This chassis is engineered to integrate seamlessly with reverse-connector motherboards. This design choice allows for a tidier interior by routing cables behind the motherboard tray. So, you can achieve a cleaner aesthetic without compromising on hardware compatibility. Cable management features are built-in to assist with this.

Easy Access and Builder-Friendly Features

The tool-free design includes a pull-to-remove front panel and a sliding top panel with a fabric tab. Because access is straightforward, building and maintenance become simpler tasks. The side window lets you showcase your components and RGB lighting. LED indicators provide system status at a glance.

Versatile Radiator and Fan Support

The case supports multiple radiator sizes for custom liquid cooling loops. Front and top panels accommodate 280 mm or 360 mm radiators. The rear panel supports a 120 mm radiator. Because fan support is extensive, you can configure push, pull, or push-pull setups as needed.
