Fractal Design Epoch XL Black TG RGB Light, Glasfenster

Das Fractal Design Epoch XL überzeugt als hochwertiges, geräumiges Gehäuse mit exzellentem Airflow und zeitlosem Design, das besonders durch die Unterstützung moderner BTF-Mainboards punktet. Trotz kleinerer Ausstattungslücken wie dem fehlenden 420er-Radiator-Support bietet es zu einem fairen Preis eine erstklassige Basis für stilvolle High-End-Systeme.

Today we will be taking a look at Fractal’s Epoch XL RGB, which as the XL in the name implies, is the larger version of Fractal’s Epoch case. The Fractal Epoch XL comes in the same contemporary design as its smaller counterpart as well as its focus on airflow. Compared to the standard Epoch case with its three 120mm ARGB fans, the Epoch XL comes with three 140mm ARGB fans. The Epoch XL can also have a larger 280/360mm radiator installed at the top, which can allow for a bit more flexibility in cooling. The Fractal Epoch XL RGB with the tempered glass panel costs $149.99 at the time of writing, making it an affordable option for cases.

With that out of the way, it should be pretty clear at this point that the North and Epoch series share a ton of similarities, as they share the core tooling across their sizes. As such, the Epoch XL feels like a simpler version of the North XL in some ways. You get a simpler metal mesh front—which lacks a fine mesh dust filter—and there is no PWM hub included. In fact the hub is not really needed anyway, thanks to the Momentum 14 cable setup.
